South Carolina High-Speed Crashes
Over the previous 20 years, speeding was a factor in one-third of the reported traffic fatalities in the United States. In South Carolina, it’s common practice for drivers to exceed the posted speed limit, which is risky for traffic security. Nearly 39% of South Carolina’s fatal traffic accidents between 2010 and 2019 involved speeding, according to data gathered from collisions.
