Because of that, there are law enforcement officers that are spying up on speeders. Even if you’re just going 5 miles over the speed limit you can still be caught and will be fined. Besides, the fines and points on your license will increase insurance rates.

Almost all countries in the world have a speed limit on the road. Speed limits apply ideal driving conditions. There are situations where you need to slow down such as heavy rain, passing a construction zone, or a housing area. Speeding at these conditions is not only dangerous, but it is illegal too.

Exceeding the speed limit or speeding is very dangerous. There is no statistically discernible relationship between the fatality rate and average speed, though there is a strong relationship to speed variance. Dangerous speed kills. That’s why there is a speed limit. Most accident cases were caused by driving over the speed limit.

But why do people speed? There are many reasons why people speed even though they know it’s dangerous. Some of the reasons are because they’re in a rush and want to reach their destination fast, some of them want to feel the thrill of speeding, and some just can’t be patient.

Whatever the reason is, there’s still no exception to speeding over the limit. Even if you’re in a hurry, speeding won’t save you that much time. In fact, it is not worth risking your life. Facts show every 10 mph traveled over 50 mph can doubles the risk of death if a crash occurs. So speed limits are not just guidelines, but they were meant to save lives.

Worst of all, you’ll have a higher chance of having an accident that can lead to serious injuries. You’re not only risking your own life but other drivers or pedestrians too. And if you’re lucky that you’re safe from accident, you will still get in trouble where you could be fined a substantial sum of money or your driving license could also be suspended.

In a nutshell, just drive to the legal speed limit. Keep in mind that speeding won’t give you any benefits. It will only risk your life and others. Drive carefully, remember your loved ones.
