> The claim that 30% of incidents are caused by speeding are also questionable. The statistics actually say that they're "speeding related", not caused by speeding. Also, they conflate alcohol related crashes with speeding related crashes. If you exclude alcohol related crashes, and crashes where someone was driving too fast for conditions, it drops to around 5% to 10%. According to the Virginia Crash Facts document from 2015[1], "speed too fast" was cited as a factor in 7.74% of fatal crashes (page 35 of the pdf document). West Virginia [2] has a similar percentage for "exceeding speed limit" (8.24%) [1] https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/safety/crash_data/crash_facts/crash_facts_15.pdf https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/safety/crash_data/crash_facts/c...
