80 mph speed limit: Idaho and Wyoming poised to be next

Idaho and Wyoming could soon see 80 mph speed limits introduced to a number of highways, joining Texas and Utah as the states with some of the fastest permitted passenger car-driving speeds, KMVT-TV in Idaho is reporting.

But the Idaho Transportation Department did not lend its support to the bill even though it is given the authority to implement it.

Car Design of the Year Awards 2007
