Millions of American drivers are speeding, environment paying the price
Original: Millions of American drivers are speeding. The environment could be paying the price
A new report warns that millions of American drivers are exceeding speed limits, and that widespread speeding is increasing fuel consumption and emissions, adding to environmental damage. Higher speeds burn more gasoline, releasing more carbon dioxide and pollutants into the atmosphere. The finding has prompted discussion about traffic enforcement, road design and the climate cost of everyday driving habits across the United States.
Why now: Concerns about climate change and vehicle emissions are putting everyday driving behavior, including speeding, under scrutiny.
