Auto Accident from Speeding Law firm

Each year there are 34 million speeding tickets issued throughout the United States according to reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Sadly, there is a general disregard for the posted speed limit throughout the nation. In fact, an estimated 65 speeding tickets are written each and every minute in the country. These statistics highlight the serious issue of speeding across the U.S.

Speeding is not only one of the most common driving infractions, it happens to be one of the most dangerous. The Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) conducted a 16 year study that produced incredibly telling results regarding the state of driving today. The study estimated approximately 11,000-13,000 annual speeding accidents which result in death. Clearly, speeding is a life-threatening offense and should be treated seriously.

Causes of Speeding

Drivers speed for a number of different reasons. Each day in the United States there are 93,000 speeding tickets written. While law enforcement does their best to curtail the number of speeders through legal repercussions, far too many drivers continue to speed. Motorists must understand the severity of this traffic violation and the vast impact that speeding has when an accident occurs.

The following are the most typical causes of speeding:

  • Driver believes that they are alone on the roadway in which they are travelling along
  • Careless and reckless drivers who are unconscious of the posted speed limit
  • Motorists who are rushing to get to a destination at a specific time
  • Extremely reckless drivers who feel that the rules and regulations of the road do not apply to them

Breaking the law for any reason does not justify the events that follow. All drivers must understand how far-reaching their negligent actions have the potential to be. When a driver chooses to operate their vehicle at speeds above the posted limit, every surrounding vehicle is in great danger of a prospective fatal collision. If you or a loved one has suffered in a speeding crash, Greg Monforton and Partners is prepared to take on your case today.
