Some drivers treat the road like a race track, but that doesn’t mean they can always get away with it.
It can feel particularly liberating to speed down the highway without a care in the world. While everyone can admit to zooming a few miles above the speed limit from time to time, some drivers in the U.S. are more prone to breaking speeding laws than others.
Drivers may speed for different reasons. Road rage can oftentimes result in an angry driver speeding down the highway, endangering the lives of those around them. Some drivers ramp up the pace because they're running late, or simply taking advantage of the freedom they feel where there's less congestion on their route. No matter the reason, speeding is still a dangerous offense. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported 9,378 fatalities caused by speeding in 2018. Curious to see how speeding behaviors play out on the roads in 2021, the research team at Insurify looked to the data to find out which states have the highest rates of speeding violations.
