California Drivers Normalize 10 MPH Over Speed Limits, AAA Finds
TL;DR Summary
A AAA study finds many California drivers regularly drive about 10 mph over the speed limit, with one-third admitting they ignore limits because they think others do; drivers say speeding saves time and helps pass slower traffic, while 85% support more police in crash-prone areas and 54% back advisory speed alerts, though only 22% favor self-enforcing speed limits. California fatalities were 4,061 in 2023 (3,807 in 2024), and Interstate 5 is cited as the deadliest weekend highway.
