In an effort to reduce the number and severity of motor vehicle accidents, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is considering the possibilities of directing speed-oriented countermeasures toward selected drivers. One countermeasure under consideration is the installation of speed governors to limit vehicle speed to a prespecified limit. A fundamental element in initiating a program of this nature is the identification of the drivers to become targets of the particular countermeasure. As a first step toward that objective, MITRE has examined speed limit compliance among drivers involved in fatal accidents. Additionally, national estimates have been developed for the number of drivers whose involvement in a fatal accident would have been affected by a 55 mph speed curb.
