Abstract:During 1995-1999, six out of every ten Americans killed in a speeding-related crash died in a single vehicle crash. On rural roads, single vehicle crashes were even more predominant. On rural local roads, for example, 86% of the speeding-related fatalities in 1999 involved only one vehicle. Speeders appear to pose more of a danger to themselves and to non-motorists (i.e., pedestrians and bicyclists) than they do to other motor vehicle occupants.* The definition of speeding used to compile the following tables was based on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data elements.
