Where does driving fast often lead to accidents?

Driving fast often leads to accidents specifically at crossroads and junctions, pedestrian crossings, and on bends because these are areas that require careful observation and control. At crossroads and junctions, other road users may cross or turn unexpectedly, so high speed reduces reaction time. At pedestrian crossings, fast driving endangers pedestrians who may suddenly step onto the road. On bends, maintaining control is crucial, and excessive speed increases the risk of losing control and skidding. In all these situations, slowing down improves safety by allowing you more time to react to hazards. This is why German traffic rules emphasize reducing speed in these critical areas to prevent accidents.
