Traffic Accidents in Baton Rouge
Speeding is not a problem drivers will only encounter on highways. Roughly 34% of all deadly collisions in which speed was involved took place on metropolitan and country roadways.
Speed is a leading factor in 29% of all deadly car crashes. If you are driving on any of Louisiana’s roadways, it is imperative that you keep the legal speed limit in mind. Although it can be tempting to surpass the speed limit, increasing your speed by even just a few miles per hour raises the likelihood of being issued a speeding citation as well as being involved in a serious accident.
