Fast Driving is always associated with the young and more adventurous, who believe that the fastest is the best. We often hear people boasting about their race with time, and how fast they travel to reach their destinations. There is no such feeling of exhilaration of acceleration, and this is the main reason of speed limits being imposed in many parts of the nation. In the period of Nixonian post fuel crisis the speed limit was considered to be 55 mph, which was a very similar to a crawl. Today, this speed does not exist and most of the States have a speed limit of 65 mph. Speed is very dangerous and can be aptly said that speed kills when not controlled. There are many reasons, why it is said that speed is dangerous. When a vehicle is traveling in high speed, it increases the distance that the vehicle travels, from the moment the driver is able to detect an emergency and the moment the driver takes to react. When the speed is high it also reduces the minimum distance that the driver needs in order to stop his vehicle. The greater the speed of the vehicle, the more severe is the accident. All these consequences, make us think if driving faster is worth it? Certainly not - the consequences of speed can be dangerous, painful as well as very expensive. Besides, our lives are much precious than the speed of the vehicle. Fast driving should never be encouraged and is not worth it also.

If you think something beyond the crashes, another important factor is worth considering. When you are increasing your speed, you will also be increasing your level of expenditure, as there are high chances that you will be required to pay for it. The fines that are levied on speedy driving, are quite hefty, and can be a major drain on your pocket. It will also add points to your license and more points in your license, implies bigger amounts that are required to be paid for insurance. There is a general rule that one four point ticket has a capacity to increase your premium amount by at least 50% in the next five years. There are many vehicles that are restricted with certain speeds, such as 75mph, that are required to be imposed in the different rural highways. These states are Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montanana, Nebraska and many other states.
