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
i remember when i was going 85 in a 50 in my '14 GT like 3 years ago...when the state trooper pulled me over i was blaring this song and when he went to give me back my license he just looked at me with this big smile on his face and said "great song man! now keep your speed down and have a nice day" out of respect for him i definitely stopped going that fast on that stretch of road!
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.
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.
Sammy should have sent the cop a copy of his royalty check from the song and video and said "thanks for writing me that ticket. This is more money than you make in a year, isn't it."
PA Turnpike......17 years old. State Trooper clocked me at 117 in a 65......with this song blaring on the radio. Trooper pulled me out of the car, cuffed me, slapped me around a bit till I was good and scared, and LET ME GO.
@@rearspeaker6364 They’d just arrest him. he’d go to court and definitely get a HUGE fine and jail time. Add lawyer fees to that... It could be upwards of a 30k thrill.
My best moment was 43 mph on a Daihatsu Charade, but then the radiator blew up and the cops caught up with me and beat me up like a human pinata. Good times.
@sha broussard Are you basing that on raw numbers or per capita? There's a ton more white people in America so of course the numbers are going to be higher overall. You have to look at percentages.
it's still 55 mph on I-10 somewhere in Texas, despite that same interstate having an 80 mph speed limit, in Beaumont, it's 55 for a one mile stretch going east on I-10 as you turn right and US 69 leaves the interstate/ or going west on I-10 as US 69 joins the interstate.
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.
Nice! Happy belated b day to him! Too bad there’s not a song I can’t drive 88 or 68 I’d dedicate those to my mom cuz she’s both a cop and she’s 68 as of March 31st 2023 lol. She loves Sammy. And she’s biracial and Scottish not that last part matters .? She knows I love the Back To The Future trilogy lol
Happy 55th! birthday to him...I'Il be 55 this month and I've never been called tasty! 😄 That was the coolest comment or compliment by a wife on her man! 💙💓
Wtf dude? “Boy am I going to miss her!” Why would you put it that way? You sound like a high schooler in a Disney sitcom who just found out his crush is switching schools. Your wife of 20 years who had a terminal illness left you and all you can say is “Boy am I going to miss her!”
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.
Back then Hagar wrote this song because he got a ticket doing 62, he had just came back to the US from a foreign tour and they had changed the speed limit down to 55
I have a 1979 Trans am. Our local engine builder put a stout 400 poncho together for me. I told my son that when we take the car out for it's maiden voyage "I can't drive 55 " will without a doubt be blasting on the stereo. And most likely every time we take her out!
I was a senior in high school and driving a 1970 GTO convertible with a 400CI, 4bbl, 375 HP, ram air factory engine when the national speed limit got dropped to 55. I would have been BLASTING this song every time I pulled out of the driveway! I still push down on the accelerator every time it comes on now almost fifty years later. 8-)
@@allensamuel4127 ~ Oh how I wish I did. That's about $75k plus worth of wheels now. Unfortunately, after getting to tool around in it for only ten months, a jackass in a three ton farm flatbed ran a stop sign on me and I never even had the chance to touch the brakes. I was doing something north of 50 mph when I tee-boned him. I managed to pry the fender wells out enough to be able to limp it home but the damage was just too severe to be repaired...especially when they discovered the frame was bent in two places. I took the insurance settlement and replaced it with a '69 Catalina convertible that I drove for the next twelve years.
I preferred Roth fronting, but you really can’t argue with the success that “Van Hagar” had. Was also cool when Hagar and Eddie were both on guitar rocking out. It’s too bad Sammy and Eddie quit working together, they had a good thing going.
Just turned 55, so I had to look this song up and hear it. Never thought I would make it. And it is so hard to drive 55, still. Lol. Sing it Sammy, Whoo HOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!
‘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.
yeah, Sammy did say how he did get bagged a few times for going way over the speed limit. and he also got the idea to write the song from not being able to go 55. lol
When this song came out in 1985 the speed limit was 55, BUT It was raised to 65 later that year. THEN in '96 it went up too 75! Today not many motorists drive posted speed limits!
A few years back a local radio station did that. They had this contest everyday where they play 3 songs you people call in and connect all 3 songs. "I can't drive 55", "Breaking the Law", and "18 and life" were the 3 songs and it wasn't hard to put them together.
Crystal Price Nope, It was the law, but eventually enough people voted with their right foot and it was raised. I had a string of Camaro’s and Corvette’s in the 80’s so 55 really sucked !

I can't drive 55 because the speed limits are much higher now. Sammy was a prophet
Idk if it's true or not, but i read somewhere that the speed limit was changed because of this song.
The song came out in response to the the national speed limit being reduced to 55.

Listening to this i can only think about two words:
Hell Valley!
Always wanted to retire in Baja and live next to Sammy , just so I could sing this song .
“Watch where you’re goin’, crazy drunk pedestrian!”
If you don't like how I drive, stay off the sidewalk.
Red!
Wow what inspiration for a most world changing song. Just memorable,timeless, unforgettable,and unfortunately,unforgivable.
Back to the Future 2 brought me here
I remember taking an interest in cars at a young age and my dad showed me this video because of the Ferarri. To this day it still sounds like the first time hearing it and I cant help but drop a gear if I hear it in the car.

I was running late to work this morning.The interstate speed is 55. I was flying and this song came to my head. Jus had to hear it.
Legend has it that Sammy Hagar still can't drive 55.
Lol
Me neither.
Dash is out no problem because 55 is a state of mind.
Who Can? Especially on my motorcycle. I treat speed limits as a suggestion....
I have heard this song over 1,000+ times. I just realized I had never seen this video until today. I guess I was always driving when I listened to it.
I don't have any hair.... But I still love 80s hair metal.
Nowadays in So California it's I can't drive 95. We drive 55 in residential areas.
Hams Allspice that's why Texas 80
Hams Allspice you will drive 40 over a 45 speed limit and there will be always someone tailgating you wanting you to go faster in Texas.
Ziggy Rocka Arizona,too! Sometimes 85. I'm sure the same can be said about TX.
Hams Allspice
BigSkippy1263 yes! I45 from Dallas to Houston is 75, I'm usually doing 85 or 90 and it's like I'm crawling like a snail with the way everyone else is passing by lol
The 80s were the cool days !
This is so bizarre. I had been thinking about this song recently, and then today it shows up in my feed. Wow.
When this song comes on in the car it will almost guarantee me a speeding ticket every time
I find listening to talk radio, classical, or easy listening makes me drive much slower (ie speed limit-ish). This is like cocaine in a car.

lol 💯💯💯💯 so true 👍
Next time tell the cop it wasn’t your fault because you were listening to this song. Maybe he’ll laugh and you’ll get a warning.
True. I found this out one day on the way to work. That's also the day I found out that 2008 v6 Dodge Dakotas are faster than I thought.
Guy hasn't aged a bit. God bless optimism and tequila.
Brandon Edwards yea he has. he really really looks young in this video.
hahaha love it!
I'd say yes on the optimism but not so much so for the tequilia about him not aging the slightest bit 😤🤔..!!
Brandon consult an optometrist
Dude didn’t start drinking until he was 60.
30 yrs ago he looked old, jeez, wow,
It’s so 80”s ! Video hits were the best back then …
This is THE typical happy metal video from the eighties, with revolt and all!
Hagar said that at one point in his life he was paying $125,000 in car insurance because of 36 speeding tickets and multiple suspensions of license.
125k per year or per month? I'm sure he had a bunch of sports cars so I can definitely believe that.
Go Sammy wish I had his cars and money ! Can not drive 55 !!!!!!!
I can believe.. he drives a LaFerrari now.
@Jem Harper yeeeeaah but it aint the same
lmfao. Well....sure it wasn't much. x'D !
No still can’t and neither can my kids . Prayers but you know… c🏁🏁🏁
