Speeding reduces a driver's ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway, extends the distance necessary to stop a vehicle, and increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a dangerous situation. Speeding directly contributes to traffic injury severity and is estimated to be involved in about one-third of all U.S. traffic fatalities. While research has identified key factors connected with speeding or speed-related crashes, the relative importance of factors remain unclear. NHTSA conducted a naturalistic study to identify the reasons why drivers speed, classify speeders, and examine situational, demographic, and personality factors that may predict travel speed.
