Sammy Hagar, the rock musician from Van Halen, recently shared a post on Instagram about his song “I Can’t Drive 55.” In the post, he briefly discusses how he wrote the song after a personal incident. Hagar explains that prior to creating the song, he had accumulated 34 speeding tickets, lost his license three times, and was paying a hefty $135,000 annually for insurance – all in 1984! However, since writing and releasing the song, he has received only two speeding tickets. The song became one of his most popular hits and even had a real-world impact on speed limits. A fan commented that it was arguably the “protest” song that caused the most change.
