Nevada Drivers Speed Despite Knowing It's Dangerous | Las Vegas News

Nevada drivers are admitting they speed—and a lot of them think it’s totally normal. A new AAA study reveals that one in three Nevadans justify speeding because “everyone else is doing it,” while over half believe keeping up with traffic is safer than obeying limits. Despite knowing speed limits are for safety, many routinely drive 10 mph over, and 28% admit to being occasional speeders. The cost? Speeding contributes to nearly 30% of traffic fatalities. Drivers cite time-saving and avoiding slower cars as reasons—but also slow down for tickets, weather, or to protect others. Good news: most Nevadans support police presence in crash zones and speed cameras, and like in-car alerts, though they’re not fans of tech that stops them without consent. AAA’s message? The speed limit isn’t optional—it’s a life-saving guideline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
