Speeding-Related Accidents in New York
Speeding is one of the primary causes of traffic-related fatalities and injuries. In New York, speed limits are regularly broken by drivers, significantly raising the possibility of an accident. In a recent year, speeding drivers were involved in 4,526 crashes in New York City, making up nearly four percent of all reported collisions. In 2022, negligent driving was a contributing factor in 3,940 car accidents in the city. Unfortunately, 12,151 people died in these collisions across that year, and around 29 percent of all road fatalities were directly caused by speeding. This startling statistic indicates that, on average, over 33 people lose their lives to speed-related causes every day.
