Dangers of Speeding While Driving

1
As drivers we all remember that one of the first
things our parents or driving instructor would
tell us is that it is dangerous to drive while
speeding.
2
There is a large portion of drivers that do not
speed, but also a large portion of drivers that
do.
3
These drivers put themselves, their passengers,
pedestrians, and other drivers in danger.
4
A scary statistic is that the number three reason
for people dying in fatal crashes is due to
speeding.
5
This occurs in 33 of crashes that end in
fatality.
6
This method of death is right below impaired
driving and finally distracted driving.
7
In regards to male drivers aged from 15 20
close to 39 were driving at an excessive speed
when they crashed and a fatality occurred.
8
As drivers we usually have access to the news or
some kind of social media aspect that keeps up
informed of current happenings.
9
It is then fair to reason that we hear of people
dying in crashes that occurred due to dangerous
speeds.
10
You may ask yourself Why do drivers speed then?.
11
The first reason that drivers speed is that they
are in a rush.
12
This could be due to impatience or being late for
work or an appointment.
13
For drivers that have a short destination driving
over the speed limit doesnt save them much time.
14
With this in mind they are likely to arrive at
work or their appointment at the same time they
would if they were driving at a safe speed.
15
The next reason that drivers speed is that they
may not be paying attention.
16
This could be because the driver didnt rest
properly before deciding to drive somewhere.
17
This could also occur if they are talking or
texting while they are driving.
18
The third reason that speeding occurs is due to a
drivers mentality that they are above the law.
19
This reason for speeding could lead to other
risky behavior while driving due to the fact that
drivers in this category have no respect for the
law.
20
The fourth reason is due to drivers failing to
recognize that their driving can be dangerous.
21
The final reason that drivers speed is that they
dont think they will get caught.
22
Each of these reasons for speeding can also lead
to additional behavior that isnt safe.
23
This includes drinking and driving, and failing
to wear a seat belt.
24
Hopefully with knowing the dangers of speeding
while driving you and other drivers will be
discouraged from taking part in this dangerous
activity and other activities that can occur.
