In 2023 alone, 40,901 Americans lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes, and 11,775 of those deaths (29%) were directly tied to speeding. Meanwhile, drivers over 65 have the lowest number of speeding deaths, likely due to more cautious habits and less time on the road. Motorcycles: High Speed, Low ProtectionThough they make up a small portion of road users, motorcycles account for an outsized share of speeding deaths. In urban zones, limits drop to 55–65 mph, and non-interstate roads can fall as low as 25 mph. Georgia’s “Super Speeder” law adds a $200 surcharge to drivers caught exceeding 75 mph on two-lane roads or 85 mph on any road.
