At <a href=\"http:\/\/auto.howstuffworks.com\/13-land-and-water-speed-records.htm\">higher speeds<\/a>, the risk increases much more quickly. People just don&#8217;t know how far their car travels in feet per second as they drive. In defensive driving class, we teach that a vehicle travels at approximately 1.5 times in feet per second the speed it is traveling at. So at 65 Miles per hour, a vehicle travels approximately 100 feet per second. If you are distracted for 3 seconds the vehicle travels the length of a football field with no one looking out the window.<\/p><p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains the consequences of fast driving quite simply: &#8220;Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes. The economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is estimated by NHTSA to be $40.4 billion per year. In 2008, speeding was a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes, and 11,674 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes&#8221; [source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov\/Cats\/listpublications.aspx?Id\">NHTSA<\/a>].<\/p><p>For your average drive across town, driving even 10 mph faster is only going to save you a few minutes &#8212; while increasing your crash risk by as much as 50 percent. A 20-mile commute at 65 MPH will take 18 minutes, that same commute at 75MPH will take 16 minutes. \u00a0Even on long trips, the time you&#8217;ll save is inconsequential compared to the risks associated with speeding. Take your time and obey posted <a href=\"http:\/\/electronics.howstuffworks.com\/gadgets\/automotive\/car-speed-limit.htm\">speed limits<\/a>. If you really need to get there as fast as possible, there&#8217;s one fool-proof solution: Leave earlier.
