Safety tip from Lynn:

Speeding is harmful to your health

Exceeding the posted speed limit (or driving too fast for conditions) is a factor in nearly one third of all fatal crashes. Speeding-related fatalities are not always related to interstate travel. In fact, only 14 percent of speeding-related fatalities are not always occur on interstate highways.

Speeding:

  • Reduces the amount of time available to avoid a crash
  • Increases the likelihood of crashing
  • Increases the severity of a crash once it occurs

Is compromising your safety and the safety of others worth the minutes you'll save? Slow down, save a life.
