Cars playing cat and mouse on the Southern State Parkway. Motorists regularly pushing 90 mph on the Long Island Expressway. Drivers casually blowing through stop signs and hitting excessive speeds in residential neighborhoods. On Long Island roadways, crashes that lead to serious injuries or death often do not involve a singular cause. Sometimes drugs or alcohol are at play. Other times, it’s the weather or motorists driving aggressively or distracted. But the bulk of the most serious crashes on Long Island is speed. “People don’t realize just how dangerous speeding is and how much they’re increasing the risks of having an accident by routinely speeding” said Stuart Cameron, chief of the Old Westbury Police Department and former chief of the Suffolk County Police Department. “They need to just slow down.” More on speeding-related crashes on Long Island is at the link in our bio. - - #longisland #nassaucountyny #dangerousroads
