Why Speeding is Dangerous

Speeding is a leading cause of car accidents and fatalities for a number of reasons, including:

• Higher speeds mean less reaction time. Therefore, when something suddenly happens on the road that must be accounted for, speedy drivers are less able to take the necessary measures to avoid an accident.
• Speeding usually involves swerving around other cars on the road. This means drivers going above the speed limit are more likely to take risks and make unsafe lane changes, both of which are potential causes of accidents.
• When you are driving faster you hit things harder. This means if you are involved in an accident or you do come into contact with something on the road (such as a pedestrian), you will not only have a greater force at the moment of impact, but you will be impacted at greater levels as well.
