Could Your Environments Change Enough to Get You a Speeding Ticket?

How many times have you been on the road and wondered, "could my surroundings be changing the speed limit on my vehicle?" I bet, right now, you're asking yourself this question. Are you speeding for no good reason? Could it be that you're simply tired and pulled from the theme park and don't want to go home. Are you afraid of losing your license? Perhaps you're trying to keep your family safe in the car.


If you're one of these people, do you know that speeding tickets can and do affect not only your future but the future of others? Statistics show that most speeding tickets are issued to black drivers, which is unfortunate considering all the hardships they have to go through just to be a legal citizen. While it may not seem fair, there are certain factors that contribute to speeding. Speeding is not a disease, it's a habit. There are many things that could slow you down or even get you a speeding ticket.

One thing to consider is the fact that your vehicle may not be in tip top shape, so this could easily play a role in why you were driving faster than necessary. Poor tire pressure can lead to increased speeds, so if you keep your tires properly inflated you won't have to worry about speeding tickets. This is also something that you should pay close attention to and make sure your tires are always in good shape.

Another thing to think about is the fact that your environment could change enough to get you a speeding ticket. For instance, what kind of road conditions are you driving on? Could it be that the roads are wet due to rain or snow? Driving on salt-molded roads can actually increase the amount of speed that you drive due to the conditions already present.

What about the weather? Are you driving in an area that is often windy or rainy? Does it often seem like there's no end in sight, and that you are going to get a speeding ticket? If so, then you need to understand that the reason behind your speeding ticket is very simple. You're driving in an area where conditions alter from day to day.

One example of this would be when you go to work, you drive to your home and then right before you get there you have to take a 15 minute break, and then you have to get ready to drive back to work. Even if you don't see anything wrong with your car during this time, if you don't change enough while you're driving you can get a speeding ticket for speeding. This is something that is easy to avoid by paying attention to your surroundings when you're driving and keeping your speed down as much as possible.

Another example could be when you are taking a break, and you see another driver going the opposite way you are. If you don't notice them, and you keep on driving in the same direction, you can easily get a speeding ticket for being distracted. The reason behind this is that the other driver is changing between lanes, and you haven't noticed him or her. There are plenty more examples of this that I could mention, but these are the two most common examples I hear. Could your surroundings change enough to get you a speeding ticket?


So the next time you hear someone asking "Could Your Environment Change Enough to Get You a Speeding Ticket?" Just think about what they're asking you, and then answer the question for them. You'll probably find that you don't need to get a speeding ticket any time soon!
