The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported in 2015 speeding killed 9,557 people. Speeding is illegal for a reason. Speed limits are set to keep you and everyone else on the road safe. An important thing to note is that speeding is not just going over the posted speed limit. In fact, speeding is also traveling too fast for weather conditions or road construction. Getting caught speeding could not only result in a hefty ticket. Sometimes the driver will be required to appear in traffic court and auto insurance costs can increase.
