Man explains how much

A YouTuber from the STEMbite channel shared a video explaining that speeding often doesn’t save as much time as people think. While many drivers admit to going slightly over the speed limit, especially on highways, the video highlights that the risks—like getting pulled over or causing an accident—far outweigh the minimal time gained. The creator reflected on his own habits and noted that, despite thinking going just a few miles over wouldn’t matter, math shows otherwise.

He broke down the numbers to illustrate how insignificant the time saved really is. For example, increasing speed from 70 to 75 mph only saves about 3 seconds per minute of driving. In shorter trips of 10 to 15 minutes, the actual time gained is barely noticeable. He emphasized that people often focus on speed in miles per hour instead of the actual time savings. Ultimately, he explained the concept as an inverse relationship—meaning the faster you go, the less benefit you get from speeding—making it clear that taking the risk just isn’t worth it.
