I've read many articles about Texas raising the speed limits on certain highways. There are also bills being passed to remove the “night time” speed limit. So far the night time bill has passed in the House, which will allow drivers to stay the same speed day or night. I personally think we should pass this bill; we are the only state left with this law still in effect. Modern vehicles have bright lights, and the highways have lights for the most part. Just because the speed limit increases, doesn’t mean that everyone has to go that fast, so I don’t see anything wrong with this bill. By removing the night time speed drop, little towns will lose some money due to "night time" tickets, some smaller cities and towns will pull drivers over without headlights and give them a ticket claiming its too dark, eliminating possible tickets always seems like a good idea to me. Now there still are bills working on upping the speed limit from 70 to 75mph, alongside those bills there are bills trying to set the speed limit on future highways to 85mph. These speeds are for new highways, and new highways built for the speed only. As of now legislation is just working for the 75mph mark. In my opinion I think the 75mph would be nice to see and it seems realistic, because it will allow you to speed if you want to, but not get completely ran over. The speed increase will make the speeders happy, even if it costs more per mile the faster you go, for some people its worth the price though. Like I said before I don’t see anything wrong with the speed limit increase, if you don’t want to speed, then stay out of the left lane.
