TALLAHASSEE: Divided Florida House okays 75 mph speed limit - Legislature - Mi
All that is needed is for the Governor to sign the bill, and looks like he will.
Article also tells that some of the politicians who voted for the higher limits have as many as 20 tickets on their license. One has over 40 since he got his.

75 is a nice speed limit ... anywhere in the range of 70-75 is comfortable for me ... especially on roads that are designed and more than capable of handling it. The idea that speed itself kills more people is not a valid argument. It just amplifies the results of poor driving decisions. I go across ND, SD, WY, NE, MT, ID ... all these states are 75 for cars. I find most people cruise at about 70-75 anyway ... which is comfortable, and (to me) disproves the idea that if people see 75, they will think .. "I should be able to get away with 85" ...

Great.... tourists goin 75 mixed in with retired folk.
This will end well.
No one cares about any of the states you listed that's why xDcabwrecker Thanks this. -
Needs to stay 70 during snowbird season.

I don't understand why a state would willingly give up all the income from tickets by raising the speed limit .
All its going to do is entice people to drive 79-82 mph thinking that is ok and within the limits of not receiving a ticket .
In northern I93 in NH they just brought the speed up to 70 and I never saw the problem with 65 .
It must be Big Oil at work here ...somewhere !! They are the ones funding these yahoo's in office anyway right .

I feel more comfortable and SAFE at 75mph than I would at 55mph.
