This statement is indeed true. It can be difficult to understand why drivers exceed speed limits. Some find slow driving rather boring, others justify their actions by claiming they are late for an important meeting, and a third group simply seems to enjoy "speeding" on the road.

High-speed accidents double the likelihood of a fatal outcome.

Did the driver of the Volvo, with five other passengers inside, consider this? The car veered off the road in the Horadok district and struck a tree with such force that it was literally torn apart. In that November tragedy, five out of the six young people died, and medics are still hesitant to make prognoses regarding the condition of the sole survivor, a 19-year-old girl.

At high speeds, even seat belts do not save; they no longer hold a person in their seat but simply crush their ribs.
