Speed can kill. Excessive speeding is a common contributor to motor vehicle collisions and roadway fatalities. The moment or two you might gain is not worth it, because the consequences can be far more serious than fines, demerit points and suspensions. You could cause serious, life-altering harm or death for yourself, your passengers and everyone else on the road. Plan ahead and slow down.
