Speeding-related Crashes in New York
When a driver goes over the speed limit, they endanger everyone on the road, including themselves.

Over 25,000 highway fatalities nationwide are caused by speeding, and over 10,000 of these deaths result from high-speed crashes each year. Speeding increases stopping distance and makes it more difficult to maintain control of your vehicle, two factors that can be catastrophic when combined on the road.
