High-Speed Collisions in Nevada
There are certain habits behind the wheel that can greatly increase the risk of a car accident. One of the most common is likely speeding. When a driver speeds, they become an active threat on the road, as they are less able to control their vehicle, and their stopping distance will be increased dramatically. According to findings from the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS), nearly 32 percent of auto accidents in the state involve a speeding driver. More than 25 percent of traffic fatalities nationwide in the past 20 years were high-speed impacts.
