Throughout the year, families struggle with the heart-wrenching aftermath of fatal collisions caused by factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and impaired motorists. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2022, a significant number of fatalities were attributed to drivers exceeding speed limits, failing to pay attention to the road, or operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for enhanced road safety measures and increased awareness of responsible driving practices.
