Correction

I'm so embarrassed!! My first article contained a significant historical error. The 55 mph national speed limit was enacted in the Nixon Administration in 1974, not the Carter Administration. It continued through the Carter, Ford, and most of the Reagan Administrations until it was increased to 65 mph, first to interstate highways in 1987, and then to most state highways in 1988. A national speed limit was abandoned by Congress in 1995.
