➡️ When speeding drivers travel too fast, they have less time to react to unexpected hazards on the road. ➡️ Excessive speed increases the chances of a car crashing into another vehicle or hitting a pedestrian. ➡️ Speeding also increases the risk of a rollover accident: when a car flips over and crashes onto its roof. ➡️ These crashes are often the most deadly, as passengers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured. 📅 Ready to discuss your case?

Keep a safe stopping distance, especially at red lights. 🚦🚥 Please remind your family (especially younger drivers) of the old (and very good) expression that at a minimum, you need to see 👀the rear tires 🛞 of the vehicle in front of you.
