The States Where Speeding Is Deadliest Per Capita
Fatality rate reflects deaths per 100,000 residents in crashes classified as speeding-involved, defined by NHTSA as crashes where a driver was charged with a speeding-related offense, was racing, or was noted by a responding officer as driving too fast for conditions. Per capita rates were calculated using 2024 U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. Data represents all speeding-involved fatal motor vehicle crashes reported across the United States for the full calendar year 2024.
