Speeding has become so normalized on American roads, even motorists who attest to “driving like a turtle” aren’t fazed when a vehicle occasionally zips by as if it’s competing in the Indianapolis 500.
Drowsy driving, activities that lead to distracted driving, and driving under the influence of alcohol are rightly considered very or extremely dangerous by many Americans. But speeding is viewed as less risky, and it’s a behavior many readily admit to engaging in on residential roads and freeways, according to a recent survey by AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
