Drivers in Kentucky could soon step on the gas a little more on some interstates and other roads.
A proposed 70-mile-an-hour speed limit unanimously passed a senate committee this morning in Frankfort.
Governor Fletcher and the transportation cabinet favor the higher speed limit and cite studies that show moving from 65 to 70 miles an hour won't make the roads more dangerous.
Some opponents say speed kills and the proposal should be killed as well.
Thirty other states have a 70-mile-an-hour limit.
The proposed law seen by the fletcher administration as a trade-off to get a primary seat belt law passed... That's where police could stop drivers solely for not buckling up. The 70 mile an hour limit now moves to the full senate for a vote.
So what is everyones views on this?
