What are the effects of speeding while driving?

My son just got his driver’s license, and I’m worried about him speeding around to try and be cool. I want to have some concrete evidence when I warn him about the dangers of speeding, so I’d like to know—what effects are there from speeding while driving?

I like your approach, mom.
Speeding
is more than just a bad habit on the road—it’s seriously dangerous. Here are some of the possible effects of speeding while driving:
  • Getting into a crash
  • Getting injured in a crash
  • Totaling your car
  • Ticket fines
  • Being summoned to court for reckless driving
  • Having your license suspended
  • Causing property damage
  • Seriously injuring another person or yourself
  • Causing the death of another person or yourself
  • Having your license revoked
  • Paying expensive insurance premiums
While you can control how fast you drive on the road, you can’t help it if others choose to drive dangerously. That’s why it’s so important to get a solid
car insurance
policy to keep you protected.
