"I Can't Drive 55" is 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's video includes Hagar and his band being chased and jailed by the California Highway Patrol for traffic violations.

A trial scene is presided over by a judge played in a cameo appearance by John Kalodner.

The yellow jumpsuit, worn by Hagar in the video, can be seen at the New Orleans Hard Rock Cafe.

The song has been a signature track for Hagar during and after his tenure with Van Halen, and is commonly used on TV programs and commercials related to automotive racing.

The American punk rock band Minutemen named their album Double Nickels on the Dime as a protest against the song.
