Explanation
Speeding is one of the most common causes of vehicle crashes. Driving at excessive speed increases your risk of being involved in a collision. This is because it reduces your ability to react to hazards, control your vehicle, and judge distance accurately. This puts other road users and pedestrians at risk. Additionally, excessive speed increases the impact in a crash, leading to more serious injuries or deaths.
