Speeding-related Crashes in Kansas
A driver who speeds always has a greater chance of getting into a major accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that high-speed crashes have been responsible for about one-third of all road deaths in the United States over the last 20 years. You greatly increase the chance of losing control of your car when speeding for several reasons, and the resulting injuries will almost always be much more severe. This makes it harder for drivers to avoid major accidents that could seriously hurt others. Unfortunately, thousands lose their lives annually on American roads due to this disastrous combination.
