For many of us, the dangers of speeding have been talked about and outlined since their first days learning how to drive, however in a lot of cases, people choose to overlook posted speed limits out of recklessness, distraction, or perhaps a hurry to go to their destination in a more timely manner. Speed even offers an exponentially harmful impact on road safety. As the speed accelerates, so does the number and severity of accidents. Too much speed reduces the driver's ability to work out curves, move about obstacles in roadway and increases the stopping distance. In the road environment, a driver or rider is considered to be speeding if: traveling at excessive speed, that is, over the posted speed limit and traveling at an inappropriate speed, that's, way too fast for the traffic, road and/or weather conditions.
Speeding not only makes the effects of an accident even worse. It increases the likelihood of an automobile accident by compromising driving in the following ways: increases necessary braking distance, restricts driver control at turns or flexes in the road, and decreases reaction time to react to unpredicted highway phenomena. So, the public should be made more aware of the risks of speeding. When we're to combat these dangerous, life-threatening actions, we must devote increased resources to better enforcement, such as more law enforcement officers to patrol the highways, and we must help support engineering advances, such as video cameras, to focus on hostile, speeding drivers.
