NHTSA considers a crash to be speeding-related if any driver in the crash was charged with a speeding-related offense or if a police officer indicated that racing, driving too fast for conditions, or exceeding the posted speed limit was a contributing factor in the crash. In this fact sheet, information on 2016 speeding-related fatal crashes is presented in the following order: * Overview * Driver characteristics * Alcohol * Restraint Use * Environmental characteristics * Speeding by state. This fact sheet contains information on fatal motor vehicle crashes and fatalities based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
