SPEED AWARE
Saving Lives Through Enhanced Speed Management and Vehicle Control
Speeding Kills
Speeding continues to be a critical safety issue in the United States. In 2023, 11,775 lives were lost due to speeding, accounting for nearly one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities.
Over the past 20 years, speeding has consistently contributed to nearly one-third of motor vehicle deaths and a small group of repeat, high-risk offenders pose the greatest danger, often engaging in other risky behaviors such as impaired driving. Traditional penalties like license suspension have proven ineffective, with 75% of suspended drivers continuing to drive.
