Sammy Hagar: I Can’t Drive 55
“I Can’t Drive 55” was the lead single and first track from Sammy Hagar’s eighth studio album VOA in 1984. Perpetuated by a very successful music video, it became a concert staple that continued throughout Hagar’s tours as a member of Van Halen. The song is a reference to the National Maximum Speed Law in the United States, that originally set speed limits at 55 miles per hour (89 km/h).
