Speeding-Related Crashes in New York
One of the main reasons for traffic-related deaths and injuries is speeding. The likelihood of an accident is greatly increased when a driver speeds, and in New York, this reckless behavior is all too common. The increased stopping distance and slower reaction time are two of the most significant reasons that speeding can increase the risk of a crash. In New York City, speeding drivers were involved in 4,526 crashes in a recent year, accounting for 4 percent of all reported collisions. In 2022, there were 3,940 motor vehicle accidents in the city due to careless drivers. A total of 12,151 people died as a result of speeding drivers across the country in that year, and speeding was directly responsible for approximately 29 percent of all traffic fatalities. This alarming figure translates to an average of almost 33 fatalities attributable to speeding every day.
