Injured in an accident? Our Elkhart County Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys Can Help
One of the major causes of motor vehicle accidents in Indiana is exceeding the posted speed limit. Why do people choose to break the law and speed? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are a number of motivations for people to speed, such as:
- The situation. According to the NHTSA study, many people only resort to speeding when on a lonely road during a long-distance trip, while others said they speed when they are in a hurry or running late for an appointment.
- Pressure. When traffic is moving along quickly, many drivers say they feel pressure to go with the flow, even if it means exceeding the speed limit. They also believe (sometimes falsely) that they won’t receive a ticket if everyone is speeding.
- Inattention. Distracted drivers are often not paying close attention to the road, and to the speed they are traveling. Some study participants blamed their speeding on being distracted by technology or passengers in the vehicle.
- Thrill-seeking. Some aggressive drivers say they speed because it makes them feel powerful, particularly if they are driving a sports car.
