 Just for interest's sake, I seem to remember that speedometers were required
 to be more accurate (I don't remember *how* accurate) during the same years
 that they were to have a maximum reading of 85, with 55 highlighted somehow.
 When the D.O.T. (was it them?) ruling about this was rescinded in the flurry
 of Reagan deregulation, the accuracy requirement was dropped too.  (I believe
 that '84 was the first year without the req't.  Is that right?)
