Does anyone remember which President brought us the 55 mph sped limit ? Republican Dick Nixon.

Hysteria? Where?
I wouldn't throw the blame for 55mph speed limit all at Nixon's feet. Before enactment, 21 States already had 55mph or even 50mph limits and it was also in response to the 1973
oil crisis. Additionally, in May 1974, the US Senate defeated a proposal by Senator Robert Dole to raise the speed limit to 60 mph.
