Butch54, if we had decent roads like most other states I'd be all for raising the speed limit but our roads are horrible here and I don't want someone I love or myself to be the victim of someone who loses control of their car while avoiding a pot hole.

5 MPH increase....big whoop! I travel a highway everyday that used to be 55, they repaved it, and now it is 45. What gives? Oh, and a freindly Highway Patrolman, will sit there hiding in amongst the trees, ready to bust your butt too.

Try going down any road, city or freeway doing the speed limit and you will be run over or worse. And watch out for intersections and stop lights. I've been hit ten times since I moved here in 1985 and it has never been my fault. If I am not in uniform then people show little or no respect for the rules.

The limits are higher in lots of states. Some are are thinking about 85 MPH in some spots. Must we always feel slower and more stupid in this state. Remember when you say Arkansas your talking about every citizen of this state. Please leave me out of your comments. I don't have any prof of how well you manage your life so don't speak for me please until I find you worthy.
