Man, what a voice!
Can you imagine singing and sounding like that? The man is blessed.

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.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Because I let you."

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 😞.

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!

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.

‘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.

I miss the 80s. 😔
Eddie Van Halen's death brought me here.

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!

Long live Sammy Hagar! He makes the 80's feel good, which the 80's were!😂

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.
