Speeding is not only illegal and will result in fines, suspension of license and possibly even jail time but also can result in severe injuries because of the negligent driver. Speed related accidents can be very dangerous because of the high speed that the vehicles collide at. When a collision occurs at a low speed the chances of a severe life threatening injury is less likely than that of a high speed crash.

Some drivers may feel like they are well in control of their vehicles while they are speeding leading them to a false security that driving fast is fine. Drivers who are speeding are often very abruptly reminded that they are not secure though when they find themselves unable to control their vehicle and injury themselves and others around them.

Some factors that may contribute to a speeding driver losing control of their car are the folllowing situations:
  • Rain
  • Snow
  • Visible Ice
  • Black Ice
  • Winding roads
  • Ramps
  • Needing to come to an abrupt stop if traffic is slowing down
High speed crashes often result in spinal injuries, brain injuries, severe lacerations, broken bones and many times death.

So how common is it that someone is injured because of a negligent driver who is speeding? Speed related accidents account for 30% of accidents that result in injuries every year. Driving above the speed limit decreases your reaction time and increases your chances of getting into an accident. Approximately 3 million people are injured in car accidents a year of which 2 million of the injuries are permanent injuries. That means that 900,000 accidents a year are caused as the result of a driver speeding.
