High-Speed Collisions in Kansas
A driver is far more likely to be involved in a serious auto accident when they speed. Approximately one-third of recorded traffic fatalities in the United States are caused by speeding drivers, according to the National Highway Road Safety Administration (NHTSA). Speeding extends stopping distance and raises the risk that a driver will lose control of their vehicle. This potentially lethal combination claims thousands of lives in this nation each year. In the event of a serious collision, drivers who speed and knowingly put other people in danger should be held accountable.
Sharing the road with another driver means you are constantly at risk of being hurt in a serious car accident. Unfortunately, Kansas drivers are on the roads every day, greatly increasing the risk of an unexpected collision.
