That's how I think of it.

I've got mixed feelings on this. I'm thinking it will do more harm than good. They're essentially increasing the variance of speed of the vehicles on the highway. And I really question whether that's a good idea. Semis and crappy cars aren't going to be cruising along at 75-80 with the rest of the cars. This is going to cause the impatient assholes to drive even worse than they do now. Having some people going 80+, and others going 55-60, makes it that much harder for idiot drivers to determine how quickly they're approaching another vehicle. It will probably raise fatality rates, which will in turn cause our stupid government to try and implement more driving regulations.
I feel old.

Eh, it's not like they're doing it at I35 and I435. It's 5mph on rural highways... other states do it, and I'm sure the change wasn't taken lightly. People who barely go 65-70 will now barely go 70-75... people who drive for miles in the fast lane, spend 3 minutes in the blind spot of a semi, and break at every little thing will still be on the road, cussing at those crazy assholes who want to drive 80.
