January 2, 1974: President Nixon signed "The Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act", setting a new national maximum speed limit.....or 55 MPH! It was intended to save fuel.......it probably did but it also drove a lot of people crazy driving down our highways!— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) January 2, 2018
