People in DFW need to learn how to drive 65 first. Too many dumbasses around here who go 40 in the left lane and block up traffic, slam on their brakes for no reason, all sorts of dumb stuff. I can't stand driving up here in Denton, the highways get gridlocked for no reason other than people not knowing how to drive.

I think it's a good move. They need to raise limit on night driving too.

the speed limit is already 85 in parts of texas. i do 85 every morning anyways on the freeways. i get passed by people too lol.

all i know is if the speed limit says 85 - 80% of the drivers out there will do 94mph.
