Unfortunately, this careless driving increases everyone’s risk of serious injury in a car accident. Speeding makes it harder for drivers to keep control of their cars and stop fast enough to avoid accidents that could be fatal. Every year, tens of thousands of Americans die in accidents caused by speeding. Nearly one-third of reported traffic deaths in the past 20 years have involved speeding motorists. People who go over the speed limit and cause a major accident should be held responsible because driving too fast is dangerous for everyone on the road.
