Speeding in California
Speeding endangers everyone on the road: In one year, speeding killed 9,717 people, accounting for 26% of all traffic fatalities. Speed limits are put in place to protect drivers. Faster does not mean safer.
For more than two decades, speeding has been involved in approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities. Speed also affects your safety when you are driving at the speed limit but too fast for road conditions, like bad weather, when a road is under construction, or the area at night is hard to see.
Speeding jeopardizes not only the life of the driver but all of the people that share the road with them, including police officers.
Speeding is more than just breaking the law. The consequences include:
- Loss of control
- Reduced effectiveness of protection equipment like airbags and seat belts
- Increased stopping distance after the driver sees the danger
- Crash severity and severe injury
- Increased gas consumption
