(SAN ANTONIO) Rocker Sammy Hagar, who once sang "I Can't Drive 55," might want to move to Texas. The California-born singer may be able to drive 85 in the Lone Star State if a measure approved by the Texas House becomes law.

1200WOAI news reports language added to a bill which would eliminate funding for the Trans Texas corridor toll project allows the Texas Department of Transportation to 'establish a speed limit not to exceed 85 miles per hour on a part of a state highway system' which is designed to accommodate travel at that speed, and where engineering and safety studies have determined that a higher speed limit is appropriate.
