Speeding

---

Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic accidents in the United States. The economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is estimated by the NHTSA to be $40.4 billion per year. In 2005, speeding was a contributing factor in 30 percent of all fatal crashes, and 13,113 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes. At Saladino Oakes & Schaaf, we use every means available to prove negligence on the part of a speeding driver in order to obtain the highest monetary reward for our clients. Under Kentucky law, all motorists are required to drive at a speed that is reasonable or prudent K.R.S. § 189-390. Any speed in excess of the following speeds is evidence of unreasonable driving:

• 35 mph in a business or residential district;
• 65 mph in other locations, unless the director of highway traffic states other wise. K.R.S. § 189-390.

The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all the facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law. See Terms of Use.
