[net.auto] Progress for anti-55 folks...

klein@ucbcad.UUCP (Mike Klein) (06/06/85)

I quote the following from the Thursday, June 6 1985 issue of the
San Francisco Chronicle (page 9):

---------------------

		SPEED LIMIT INCREASED OKD

Sacramento

A Senate resolution sponsored by the California Highway Patrol urging
the federal government to lift the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit won
endorsement from the Assembly Transportation Committee yesterday.

The CHP has been seeking higher speed limits on rural freeways because
49 percent of drivers in the state exceed the legal speed limit.  It was
noted that the CHP might better spend its time checking on drunken drivers
than monitoring speeding motorists.

--------------------

Please, anyone who is interested in voicing their approval (or disapproval---
I do have to be fair) DON'T DO IT ON THE NET --- that doesn't help anyone.
Write to your state congressman, representative, and/or the California Assembly
Transportation Committee!
