Nevada Speeding-Related Crashes
It is very dangerous to exceed the posted speed limit. Sadly, it is also a frequent occurrence on Nevadan roads. The National Safety Council (NSC) has found that speeding drivers kill an estimated thirty persons every day. A total of 11,258 people nationwide lost their lives in high-speed collisions in 2022. Nearly 45 percent of fatal high-speed accidents occur on wet roads, indicating that weather is another important factor in fatal speeding-related crashes. Roughly twenty percent of these fatal collisions happened on dry roadways.
