Car Accidents in Utah
Speeding is one of the top causes of traffic accidents in Utah. Driving too fast makes it harder to react to road hazards and increases the severity of crashes. Here’s how speeding affects road safety:
- Longer Stopping Distances: The faster a car is going, the more space it needs to stop, which makes rear-end crashes more common, especially in heavy traffic.
- Reduced Reaction Time: When a vehicle is moving quickly, the driver has less time to respond to sudden stops, lane changes, or obstacles in the road.
- Greater Injury Severity: High-speed crashes generate more impact, increasing the chances of severe injuries or fatalities for drivers and passengers.
- Higher Risk of Rollovers: Speeding around curves or sharp turns makes vehicles, particularly SUVs and trucks, more likely to flip over and cause serious accidents.
