If you drive faster than the posted speed limit, you run the risk of suffering severe injuries in an accident.

Drivers who speed are to blame for almost 32 percent of car crashes in the state of Nevada. Every year, over 10,000 individuals lose their lives in high-speed collisions in the United States, accounting for almost 25 percent of all fatal collisions.
