Auto speed raise eyed in Texas Legislature
AUSTIN UP L) Auto insurance rates may rise if the 1977 Texas legislature increases the state speed limit to 70 mph, said Jerry Johns president of the Southwestern Insurance Information Service. He argued faster driving leads to severer, more frequent crashes and higher costs for motorists. Rep Ed Watson bills raising the limit to 70 as lawmakers consider safer roads versus higher premiums.
