Despite knowing that speeding endangers everyone on the road, many people indulge in aggressive driving. Unfortunately, it significantly increases the severity of injuries sustained in a crash, often leading to lifelong disabilities or even death. Several factors that contribute to an overall rise in speeding habits include the following:
People may feel rushed to get to an appointment, work, date, or family function
Some drivers enjoy the rush of adrenaline that comes with driving at high speeds
Drivers may become irritated by slow-moving traffic
They are overconfident in their driving abilities and do not believe they will get caught
To stay ahead of friends or peers who are driving aggressively
Consider driving to be a form of recreation
Unaware of the speed limit or the dangers of driving too fast
