High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
When you speed, you are much more likely to be involved in a crash, and the resulting injuries are almost always going to be more severe. Almost 29 percent of national traffic fatalities in 2021 involved high-speed collisions, resulting in 12,330 fatalities. That is almost 33 people being killed daily by speeding motorists. When a crash happens at high speeds, the resulting injuries will be much more serious, and the safety mechanisms present in your vehicle will not function as intended. Speeding drivers also need much more time and distance to come to a complete stop, meaning that they are less able to avoid serious collisions.
