Should the 55 mph speed limit be retained? Explain.

In my opinion, the 55 mph speed limit is ridiculous. The speed limit should at least be 65 on interstates and roads like that. Maybe throughout town they should retain a 55 mph speed limit, but on interstates on bypasses, its a crock of crap.
The 55 mph speed limit only allows more people to pay the crooked police forces that are always worried about the people who are breaking the stupid laws such as the speed limit. While they are writing you a ticket for going 62 instead of 55, there is probably a bank being robbed or someone getting killed at that time, but the police will never help in situations like that because they stay focused on the wrong things.
Now why in the world would they keep a 55 mph speed limit on the interstate, when rarely does anybody abide by it. Even older people and handicapped people can drive faster than that. I think the minimum speed allowed on the interstate should be 55 in all honesty. I mean if you're going slower than 55 on I-75 in Macon, you are liable to get ran over.
With that being said, I believe grown ups should be allowed to maintain a speed they are comfortable at. If you have been driving for twenty years, I think one knows basically how to drive and at what speed they drive the best at. The 55 mph speed limit is stupid, the police who stops you for going seven miles over are stupid, and whoever came up with it is not very intelligent also.
A 55 mph speed limit is needed in some places, such as through the middle of town, but I think it is just absolutely crazy to have a 55 mph speed limit on interstates and bypasses.
