Question 1982
If you drive above the legal speed limit and have a crash, the likelihood that it will be fatal is…
- Twice as high as if you were driving at an appropriate speed.
- The same as if you were driving at an appropriate speed.
- Greater than if you were driving at an appropriate speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Greater than if you were driving at an appropriate speed.
Exceeding the speed limit increases the likelihood of a crash having fatal consequences. The risk is greater than when driving at an appropriate speed.
