Florida #1 for Speeding Tickets, Wyoming #1 for Speed
Deaths. As you may know, Texas drivers can now legally outgun the rest
of the U.S. with a new 85 MPH speed limit between Austin and San Antonio. But
it’s in Florida that you run the greatest risk of getting slapped with a
speeding ticket. Georgia, Nevada, Texas and Alabama follow Florida as the Top 5
states for speeding (Texas ranks a mere #4). Wyoming drivers, meanwhile, have
the highest rate of speeding-related deaths in the nation. 25 million speeding
tickets are issued nationwide each year, and drivers pay an average of $150 per
ticket. These findings are part of newly released data just published in the
“Need for Speed” infographic on Bankrate’s Insurance Quotes website. These
statistics are for all vehicles.
