Speeding: The #1 Aggressive Driving Risk
Speeding — defined as driving over the posted limit or too fast for conditions — reduces stopping ability and increases the chance of crashes and injuries.
Speeding is the leading form of aggressive driving and is typically defined as exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions. It reduces a driver’s ability to negotiate curves, increases stopping and reaction distances, and makes it harder for others to judge distance, contributing to 31% of driving incidents and 62% of fatal crashes. Slow down — it only saves seconds but can prevent serious injury or death.
