Speed plays an important role in overall roadway safety. When a driver exceeds the speed limit, there’s always a much greater risk of a serious car accident. Thousands are killed on American roads each year in high-speed collisions, contributing to roughly one-third of reported fatalities in the past 20 years alone. Oklahoma drivers have a bad habit of exceeding the speed limit. According to an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) study, speeding was a factor in nearly 22.4 percent of fatal accidents in a recent year. A total of 147 people died in accidents that were caused by drivers who were going too fast in the state that year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 143 people died in crashes all over the state last year because of speeding drivers.
