Higher speed limits would rule out sr22 auto insurance?

Egogo Waffles : Is it true that higher speed limits would reduce the crashes and thus a person speeding should not be considered a hgih risk driver. Do all drivers need SR22 car insurance.

Response : Eggogo, please refer to the reasons why and when you need SR22 car insurance as per my previous blog post.

I am suprised with your first statement. I have been in the insurance world since more than 2 decades and speeding has always been considered a high risk or high risk driver. They are called aggressive drivers.
No. I am giving you what I have read on the highway traffic insurance website. Advocates of higher speed limits have claimed that research on speed variation indicates faster speeds are not hazardous. They cite David Solomon’s research from the mid-1950s that seems to show an increase in crash likelihood among drivers traveling slower than the average speed and a minimum of crashes at 5-10 mph above the average speed. However, the speeds of the crash-involved drivers in these studies were based on self-reports. It is well known that drivers exceeding speed limits are likely to deliberately underestimate their speeds. Such underestimation can account for much of the apparent underinvolvement of moderately high-speed drivers in crashes. Later research found that simply removing the crashes involving intersections and turning maneuvers from the Solomon data eliminated the overinvolvement of slower drivers in crashes. More important, the Solomon research addressed only speed variation, not speed limits.
Speed limits are based on the road conditions, the traffic on the road and the locality. This is based on the fact that you are not alone on the road and an aggressive driver, intoxicated driver or any driver for that matter should never forget this. There should be concessions made for any contigency and other traffic on the road. These speed limits are very necessary since the movment of all the people using the road should be kept in mind. Please do not have this misnomer in mind. Speed is the reason why most people have to pay very heavy insurance. DUI drivers would certainly need SR22 car insurance.

Drive safely and carefully.
