    Texas is mulling an 85 miles per hour speed limiit. Thoughts?

    Why not? That's the average traffic speed in most states now. Not that it's the legal speed but that how  fast highway traffic runs now. 

    If it's through a residential area, it's way too fast!    :)

    There are many places in Texas where 85 mph would seem logical to me. They should however, enforce the "move to the right if not passing rule".

    No, kidding. I learned that rule out of my state....

    I agree. Those idiots are the ones who cause accidents as motorist attempt to pass them on the right while they roll along being a lane hog.

    I have a dear friend who travel in the left hand lane and I cannot convince him to move over. No true Texan does, I'm afraid. Like I wrote, I learned the rules out of state.......

    As Flip said, enforce the law. I bet after a few pricey tickets for being a hazard on the highway, they will soon learn to move over.

    I wish I had my license back, maybe. I could get killed out there....

    Negative thinking never helped anyone. Problems in life are lessons to learn by, not excuses to off oneself.

    @Colleen is right, people travel that speed anyhow, may as well make it legal. Not in towns however. But the long stretches of highways are just that, long.......
