A driver moving at an extremely high rate of speed has less time to react. If the speeding driver is also tailgating (a common combination), he/she has no time at all to brake if the car in front stops unpredictably. Whether that front car stops due to mechanical failure, a medical event, or an animal running into the road, everyone in both vehicles may suffer devastating injuries.
In addition, speeding increases the force of impact, resulting in greater injury to bones and muscles. Because speed also increases property damage, the cage of the car is crushed, offering less protection than usual. The protection offered by seatbelts and airbags likewise diminishes due to the pressure imposed by the speeding vehicle.
California Laws Relative to Speeding
On most California highways, the maximum speed limit is 65 mph, except where 70 mph is visibly posted. On two-lane undivided highways, the maximum speed limit is 55 mph. Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit is 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways and for vehicles towing trailers.
On smaller, more local roads, reasonable speed limits for the type of road surface and amount of traffic are posted and must be obeyed. Penalties for those who speed varies according to the number of mph over the speed limit, whether the speeder was committing other violations at the same time, and whether the offender has a record of prior offenses. No matter what the law says about the speeding offense committed, however, personal injury law entitles you to fair compensation for the harm you have suffered.
