Spotlight Report Highlights Excessive Speeding

Traveling the speed limit is an easy way to help reduce the number of traffic-related deaths and injuries. The Governors Highway Safety Association’s (GHSA) latest spotlight report highlights excessive vehicle speed as a persistent contributor to motor vehicle fatalities. The report also examines approaches to speeding, including programs that give those involved in a crash a voice.
