Deadly Speeding-related Collisions in Texas

Speed plays a key role in roadway safety. It can often determine if a collision is going to end in fatal or minor injuries. It is well known that speeding drivers pose an active threat on the road, contributing to over 10,000 deaths per year on American roads. In the past 20 years, high-speed collisions have been involved in nearly one-third of reported traffic fatalities in the United States. Speeding makes it harder to control a motor vehicle, increasing the distance needed to stop as well as the risk of a crash in general. The force of impact is usually much greater in a high-speed crash.
