The purpose of this survey is to examine the extent to which drivers speed, who the speeders are, when and why drivers speed, and what countermeasures are most acceptable and perceived effective in reducing speeding. In addition, NHTSA aims to identify factors, such as attitudes, perceptions, norms, and underlying behaviors that may help explain and predict speeding behavior. Furthermore, NHTSA plans to measure whether or not self-reported behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions regarding speeding have changed over time, since the last administration of this national survey in 2002.
The program change is because this is a new information collection adding 2,010 burden hours to NHTSAÂs overall total. A similar study was performed in 2002, now the agency is including cell phones for the first time, which requires a larger sample, and general cost for surveys have changed
