<P> `` I Ca n'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 ) . </P>
