Tips to Avoid Speeding Car Accidents in Los Angeles
Speed kills. It cannot be put more simply than that. In fact, studies show that speeding kills as many people as drunk drivers.
The science behind a speeding accident is that speeding reduces a driver’s ability to perceive other cars and pedestrians as things come at them too fast for the eyes and brain to process. Moreover, the higher the rate of speed, the quicker decisions must be made and executed. Split second decisions at high rates of speed usually don’t end well for anyone as faster speeds mean increased forces at impact, which often result in more significant injuries, including death.
With so many people zipping around and speeding here in Greater Los Angeles and beyond, it can seem overwhelming if you’re the person driving at a safe speed wanting to remain injury free.
