AAA: TOP EXCUSES THAT AMERICAN MOTORISTS OFFER FOR EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT


https://magazine.northeast.aaa.com/daily/life/cars-trucks/the-top-speeding-ticket-excuses/ I attempted to find online statistics tonight for the total number of speeding tickets received by residents of northeast Austin in the first six months of 2020 or in calendar year 2019, whether by zip code of motorists' respective residences or by northeastern section (our section) of Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find those recent speeding-ticket statistics for the northeastern section of Austin, Texas, and for the entire city of Austin. A key paragraph from this April 22, 2020-dated American Automobile Association copyrighted blog that was written by Andrew Sheldon: "Speeding significantly increases the likeliness and severity of a crash. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2018, speeding killed 9,378 people (nationwide), accounting for 26% of all traffic fatalities that year." Another key paragraph: "Not only is speeding dangerous, it will also hurt your wallet. You’ll have to pay the fine plus your car insurance costs will increase. CarInsurance.com recently found that auto insurance rates increase between 22% and 30% on average following a speeding ticket. This can result in hundreds of dollars of additional costs."
