Traffic authorities and agencies regularly cite speeding as a major cause of accidents and injuries.

Dangers of Speeding

Many motorists may not realize the dangerous effects that speeding can have, and as a result, they may pay little or no attention to posted speed limits and instead drive as fast as they wish. This sort of careless attitude can result in devastating accidents that can injure anyone near the speeding driver. When a driver speeds, he or she may:

  • Lose control on a winding road or on a sharp turn
  • Have limited time to brake or adjust to a change in driving conditions, resulting in an accident
  • Strike children or pedestrians in residential and school zones

By traveling at faster speeds, the time needed to slow or stop a vehicle increases while the driver’s response time decreases. As such, a speeding driver may notice a threat or hazard, but might not have the time to brake before an impact.

Accidents caused by such reckless actions are inexcusable, and if you have been injured by a speeding driver, it is important that you do everything possible to hold the responsible party accountable for the damage they have done.
