NHTSA Statistics

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently reported that 2018 saw a decline of almost 6% in speeding-related traffic fatalities. While this is certainly good news, speed-related fatalities still accounted for more than 9,000 deaths across the country last year. Speeding presents a very real danger to everyone on the road.
