AAA study finds 19% of Mass. drivers consider themselves frequent speeders

A AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study of about 16,500 drivers shows 19% of Massachusetts residents classify themselves as ‘frequent speeders,’ ranking 9th nationally (National average 15%). New Mexico leads at 29% and Kansas is lowest at 7%. The findings come as speeding factors contributed to roughly 30% of 2024 traffic fatalities nationwide, with Massachusetts recording over 6,400 crashes involving speed (66 of them fatal). AAA urges drivers to choose safe speeds appropriate for conditions rather than following others.

California Drivers Normalize 10 MPH Over Speed Limits, AAA Finds

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.

AAA Study Finds Speeding Normalized, Posing Risks on U.S. Roads

AAA Study Finds Speeding Normalized, Posing Risks on U.S. Roads

A AAA Foundation study of 16,000 drivers finds that nearly half think keeping up with traffic is safer than the posted limit, and about a third believe no one actually drives the limit. Nationally, speeding contributed to about 30% of 2024 traffic fatalities, with Michigan logging 22,260 speed-related crashes and 177 deaths that year. The results help explain stepped-up speed enforcement and suggest education, targeted policing, and speed cameras could reduce deaths, as drivers respond most to the threat of tickets and warnings rather than safety messaging.

Eagles' Nolan Smith Arrested in Georgia for Speeding

Nolan Smith, the Eagles' fourth-year edge defender, was reportedly arrested in Georgia for speeding and reckless driving after allegedly driving well over 130 mph; a mugshot circulated online and local outlets confirmed the arrest, though PhillyVoice has not independently verified the exact speed. The report comes amid a string of speeding incidents among NFL players, but no suspensions have followed, and the Eagles hope to have Smith healthy for the 2026 season after a year hampered by a triceps injury; they also exercised his fifth-year option for 2027.
