They CAN drive 55

We love the web.

A Meditation on the Speed Limit
In this video, Georgia State University students decide to show how stupid the 55mph speed limit is on a major 4 lane highway in Atlanta, GA. To demonstrate, they coordinated four cars to all drive the speed limit right next to each other to slow down the entire expressway to the legal speed. Some of the irate driver’s reactions are pretty shocking but the best part is the shot of a completely empty highway in front of this massive line of cars all traveling at exactly 55mph. Imagine pulling this on 696 some morning.

People in Atlanta would be right at home on 696. They are nuts down there, and if you are driving on the beltway south, you drive under an overpass where you can see airplanes taking off right in front of you. Its pretty overwhelming when you are driving 80, and out of no where you see a plane take off…

The only thing cooler would be if somebody landed the Space Shuttle on I-75!
