Yes, approximately 30 percent of all highway deaths can be attributed to speeding-related incidents. Speeding increases both the likelihood of crashes and the severity of injuries sustained in those crashes. It reduces a driver's ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the road, extends the distance necessary to stop a vehicle, and increases the force of impact in the event of a collision. Thus, addressing speeding is a critical factor in improving highway safety.
