Yes, that driver should be exempt from all interstate speed laws and be
allowed to drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent for the
conditions and the state of his automobile.  But more realistically, I
would propose a syustem of graduated licenses where drivers can attain
"expert" licenses by attending professional drivings schools.  Drivers
with these expert licenses would be legally permitted to drive faster than
drivers with regular licenses.  Furthermore, insurance companies would be
required to give discounts to drivers with expert licenses.  I think this
would be a positive step towards improving the driving skills of the
American public.
