Speeding-Related Crashes in Nevada
When you speed, you are greatly increasing the risk of a serious crash. You need much more time to come to a complete stop when speeding, and this means drivers are less able to react and avoid dangers on the road. In 2021, nearly 29 percent of roadway fatalities in the United States involved high-speed impacts. A total of 12,330 people were killed by speeding drivers that year, or almost 33 deaths per day. Speeding drivers should be held responsible for their actions in the event of a life-changing auto accident.
