How Much Time Are You Really Saving?
Many people think that they can save a lot of time by driving faster. Of course,
you will gain some time the faster you drive but
is it enough to outweigh the risk? The table below shows how much time you'll save driving at various rates over a distance of
20 miles. According to the data, you will only save two and a half minutes if you drive 75 mph compared to 65. How long does
it take to have a speeding ticket issued by the police? Longer than two minutes and thirty seconds I'm sure. To see just how
