Speeding-related Crashes in Kansas
Drivers who speed put everyone on the road in danger. High-speed collisions are a major factor in the large number of fatal collisions that occur in the United States for many reasons. Speeding considerably can impair your vehicle’s safety mechanisms while also raising the risk that drivers will lose control of their vehicles. This potentially deadly combination results in over 10,000 deaths annually in high-speed crashes across the country. Because of the greater force of impact in a high-speed collision, there is always a greater risk of catastrophic injuries.
