**Speeding** is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. Driving at a speed higher than allowed or at an inappropriate speed for the surrounding conditions can lead to dangerous situations.

- **Inappropriate speed**: Even if driving within legal limits, if weather conditions, road conditions, or the driver's state are not optimal, the speed can be excessive and dangerous. For example, driving at 70 km/h on an icy road is risky because the vehicle may skid.

- **Consequences of speeding**: It increases the difficulty of reacting to unforeseen events, which raises the risk of making serious mistakes. Additionally, it reduces the ability to see what is happening on the sides, a phenomenon known as **tunnel vision**.

- **Fatigue and aggressiveness**: Driving at high speed for a long time can cause fatigue and aggressiveness, increasing the risk of accidents.

Therefore, speeding, along with distractions, is responsible for most accidents, as they affect the driver's reaction and perception capabilities.
