Automobile Accident Attorneys

Speeding causes accidents. Speeding causes more fatalities than drunk driving. As a matter of fact, speeding is a major factor in one third of automobile accidents in this country every year. Driving at a high rate of speed reduces the time needed to respond, to react and to execute the proper maneuver to avoid an accident.

The faster you drive, the greater the risk you will have an accident. Everyone agrees that driving 100 mph is foolish and risky behavior. What few people realize is going only 5 mph over the speed limit on certain roads under certain conditions, is equally foolish and risky.

Traffic engineers and local officials are the ones who determine what the safe speed limit should be after studying the roads and various factors.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for people in the 3 to 33 age group, with speeding being one of the major causes for these accidents.

Speeding is a deliberate behavior practiced by 90% of drivers at some point in their lives. Men and women, young and old are equally guilty of this behavior.
