U.S. drivers are opposed to speeding – although lots of us do it
Many feel that it's not dangerous for skilled drivers
The U.S. Department of Transportation'sNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today released a new National Survey of Speeding Attitudes and Behavior in which nearly half of drivers surveyed say speeding is a problem on our nation's roads, and one in five drivers surveyed admitted, "I try to get where I am going as fast as I can."
Speeding-related deaths nationwide account for nearly a third of all traffic fatalities each year, taking close to 10,000 lives.
