99StockGT Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Could it be? Are we no longer going to be the speedbump across the midwest? Am I really this excited about 5 miles per hour? http://www.ohio.com/news/proposal-would-boost-ohio-s-speed-limit-to-70-mph-1.380560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't think easing that law is really going to affect the behavior of anyone not ALREADY BREAKING THE LAW. Hmmm....reminds me of mar1juana legalization... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 But now we can break the law just a little less? Or do we all bump our cruise up another 5 to keep those speeding tickets consistent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Some people cant even do the 65 speed limit out there now. This is madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I generally do 80 on the freeway anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Although I'm excited about 70 mph, we will still have retards going 65 in the fast lane holding everyone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Doesn't this bill get introduced every year and every year it dies in committee because the police lobby (probably using funds raised by speeding tickets LOL) against it?

mmrmnhrm Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Although I'm excited about 70 mph, we will still have retards going 65 in the fast lane holding everyone up. This. Of course, if the limit goes up to 70, and OHP starts ticketing slowness in the hammer lane, you'll have my vote on both (even though my aborted four-banger can barely even go 70, but that's beside the point).

In ALL surrounding states i see singage stating keep right unless passing. I don't think that is a law in Ohio, but if they bumped the speed limit to 70 this would have to be enforced.

mmrmnhrm Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 AFAIK, it's a law everywhere, just one that isn't enforced with enough regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm_sleeper Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 They have waited so long they should raise it to 80mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 They have waited so long they should raise it to 80mph. As has been discussed, would you really want some of the clapped out deathtraps allowed to go 80? As nice as it would be to be legally allowed to do 80, we'd probably spend most of the time doing 25 on the highway while they clean up dead bodies thrown out of 1989 Camrys.

99StockGT Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The neat thing is this year they tied the 70 MPH bump into the budget so if they wants their monies they have to pass it. This will only be for roads in "non urban/metro" area though so our Columbus ones may not be all that changed. The state highway patrol have already signed off on it saying they are most worried about crashes in the urban areas which make up the lions share of accidents. Those limits won't be touched.

Not Brian Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I believe if people weren't so god damned retarded they could just plain do away with speed limits. As long as all people understood one simple rule, that the lane to the left of you is for passing, it would be wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The left lane is for 85+. If you do any less I hope your car catches on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think they need to put speed limiters on all cars. Do cars really need to go over 65 mph? We should also cap the displacement of vehicles. We dont need anything over 3.0 Liters in todays society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't but the speed limits don't keep them from going that fast now. The people maintain their vehicles shouldn't have to continue to suffer. Just remind them that it's the max not the mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 55 or 85 mph limit, I'd still be speeding with my current speeds ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Meh. Ill go 77 vs 73. Not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The only thing it would change is the severity of my tickets. 75-85 is my average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallman77 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I just need to know I am not following the rules, that's all... regardless of the limit, I refuse to be under it. It's in my blood. Result = terrible insurance premiums and a tarnished driving record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwg2189 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 After being stuck behind some dipshit in an SUV clogging the left lane doing 55 on 71N (with 2 semis in the right lanes) on the way to work today, I really don't think this is going to change a whole lot. Just lesser fines for if/when you get pulled over. The left lane retards are the problem with traffic, not the casual folks just cruising along at the speed limit in the middle/right lanes.
