Did you know that speeding is the #1 aggressive driving behavior and is usually defined as driving in excess of the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions. It can have dangerous consequences, including:
• Reducing a driver’s ability to negotiate curves or maneuver around obstacles in the roadway.
• Extending the distance traveled before a vehicle can stop.
• Increasing the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard.
• Increasing the risk of crashes and injuries because other vehicles and pedestrians may not be able to judge distance correctly.
Speeding contributes to 31% of driving incidents and 62% of fatal crashes. Speeding is a driving behavior that is only controlled by you and is not worth the consequences as it only saves a few seconds, not minutes.
Slow down, save a life-whether it's yours or someone else's!
