Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives to speeding drivers each year, and during the last 20 years, speeding has been linked to about one-third of all reported traffic fatalities in the nation. In an accident, you run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and suffering serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit.
