Most people speed because they think it saves time. But the truth is that the faster you go, the less time your speeding actually saves you. Let’s crunch the numbers to see what we mean. Say you were going 10 mph over the speed limit on a 40 mph road. After 15 m, you would save a measly 4.5 minutes. Now look at what happens when the speed limit increases. On the 50 mph road, speeding by 10 mph only saves about 3 minutes. And on a 65 mph highway, jumping to 75 saves less than 2 minutes. Clearly, the faster you go, the less time you save. Even worse, your risk of dying in a crash doubles with every 10 mph you add. So, is the minute or two you save worth everything you could lose?
