Speeding is a contributing factor in nearly one-third of all fatal crashes. Since 1995 the number of deaths and injuries attributed to speed have continued to rise. Technological advances in vehicle safety and passenger protection have not been able to prevent the thousands of needless deaths each year from speed-related crashes. The best solution to the problem is to make drivers aware of the problem and to equip them to drive at safe speeds, which are the two main objectives of this course. Towards these ends, various topics are covered, including what factors influence drivers to speed, what risks arise from excessive speed, how speed affects stopping distance, what economic costs stem from speeding and aggressive driving, how to avoid becoming involved in a collision with a speeder, and what factors to consider in choosing a safe speed for vehicle operation.
