• Abstract:
  Speeding -- exceeding the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions -- is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes. In 1999, speeding was a contributing factor in 30% of all fatal crashes, and 12,628 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes. The 1999 costs of speeding-related crashes were estimated to be $28.0 billion -- $53,243 per minute or $887 per second. In 1999, 606,000 people received minor injuries in speeding-related crashes. An additional 73,000 people received moderate injuries, and 40,000 received serious to critical injuries in speeding-related crashes.
