A few fun facts: this Ferrari used in this video belonged to Sammy, and he still owns it to this very day :) Also, the mechanic in yellow at the beginning of the video (Claudio) was the person who introduced Sammy to Eddie Van Halen in '85.

My brother John, who died last year at 67 loved fast cars and really loved this song. He even bought me and him T shirts that said "Support Civil Disobedience. Repeal the 55, VOTE with your FOOT......It's a shame he never got to meet Sammy. I think they would have had a lot to talk about. Rest in Peace my brother 😞. Bryan

Fun fact: this song was inspired by true life event's. After getting pulled over for speeding, the highway patrolman told Sammy that the speed limit was 55 miles an hour. As the officer wen't to his vehicle to retrieve something Sammy thought to himself, "I can't drive 55." He knew in an instant that he had the germ of a new song. The cop came back to Hagar's vehicle and gave him the speeding ticket. Sammy thanked the officer as the whole thing had inspired one of his biggest hits.

The song came out in response to the the national speed limit being reduced to 55. Some states didn’t like the change but had to enforce it, so instead of a speeding ticket , Nevada would issue a wasting energy ticket if you were going between 55 & 70 (in some areas) it was a good time to live in Nevada.

‘I Can’t Drive 55,’ as Hagar has explained many times, was inspired by a real-life incident that found him pulled over for doing 62 late at night on an empty highway in upstate New York. I'm guessing record sales from this song have paid for that ticket many times over by now.

in the late 80's, I-20 was 55 mph for a mile and a quarter stretch in Longview, I-80 in the Quad Cities area was 55 mph from I-280 to the Illinois state line at the Mississippi River crossing, (now it's 65 east of I-280/70 west of I-280), and until 2015, the Tri State Tollway I-94 was 55 mph all the way until just 3 miles south of the Wisconsin state line, only 3 mi. of I-94 was 65 mph. Now most of the Tri-State is posted over 55. I-94 is 70 mph north of IL-132 near Six Flags Great America, 65 mph in most of Lake County, I-294 is 60 mph north of I-90 and south of I-55 until I-57.

Just ate at Sammy’s in the Maui OGG airport. Never heard of Sammy before that. Sammy has a bunch of restaurants and he shares his proceeds with the staff , he helps the local communities and provides resources to people in need. My server for the day Marlho told me of Sammy's generosity! She did a great job. She was fast, polite, professional and accurate. Whenever I come back to Maui OGG Im eating at Sammy’s!!!

An all time great driving song. Makes you roll down the windows and just let it ride because you know it's a song just about anybody wouldn't mind listening to regardless of their preference of music; then, when others do hear it, they start bangin' their heads, give ya a smile, and are ready to hit the gas waiting for that light to just...turn...green. 😎
