"Wibbly-wobbly" makes me think of a well-known bridge:

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

I'm willing to be it goes nowhere in the legislature - wouldn't mind being wrong though.

On one hand I agree with this though and would be willing to go with having no statutory maximum speed limits.

On the other, I'm reminded of an ongoing debate between a senator and two transportation agencies in Illinois regarding speed limits.

Having driven plenty on I-70 through much of the state during my college days, there are some stretches that would need some significant upgrades before it could be raised to 75 IMO (more so in the Eastern part of the state).
