I have lived in Colorado for almost a year and one thing about this state has bothered more than any other: speeding. As someone who was hit by a speeding driver I am very sensitive to this issue. Most people shrug at speeding, whether that is on the highway or in town, because they feel they are in control. Going faster means that, when something bad happens, by the time you’ve had time to react your car will have traveled further than if you were moving slower. Once you’ve applied the breaks, it will take longer to stop the vehicle.
