Speeding significantly increases the likelihood that drivers may lose control of their cars and effectively reduces the ability of your car’s safety features to operate as intended. Over 10,000 people nationwide lose their lives in high-speed collisions every year. There is always a higher chance of catastrophic injury in the event of a speeding-relate crash due to the force of impact alone.
