Most auto accidents that occur in Michigan involving excessive speeds result in serious injuries and death and could have easily been avoided. Accidents that occur when drivers are obeying the speed limit are dangerous enough, but when excessive speed is used, the injuries and consequences are elevated that much more. Excessive speeding can apply when one driver is traveling over the required speed limit, but it can also occur when cars are traveling too fast given poor road or weather conditions. As a Michigan resident, you know that many roads have deteriorated that need maintenance and we also encounter snowy and slippery roads quite often. Many drivers don't take these conditions into account and drive too quickly given these poor road conditions disregarding their own safety and the safety of others. The time to react and brake to possibly prevent an accident from occurring is reduced significantly.
Many people don't realize that they are driving too fast and putting drivers in danger because they haven't been in a serious car accident in the past. Today's fast pace society requires that people handle multiple tasks at once and that includes when driving. The most common driver distractions include talking on a cell phone while driving, texting and driving, eating while driving, watching a movie or looking at a GPS device or even reading a book or work documents while driving. These distractions along with excessive speeds lead to many Michigan auto accidents every year.
