An analysis for this report of state data on 6 million traffic citation convictions from 2010 to 2013 shows the state's most dangerous speeders are usually allowed to plead to lesser charges. In the process, they avoid the harsh penalties set aside for the state's most reckless speeders.

The analysis found:

• Out of 8,056 tickets issued to drivers accused of traveling in excess of 40 miles per hour above the speed limit — enough to lead to the suspension or revocation of a driver's license — 82 percent resulted in convictions with either lower speeds or lesser charges, ranging from inadequate headlights to jaywalking. Most were going more than 100 mph.

• The charge of excessive speeding led to the suspension or revocation of the driver's license in only 26 of those 8,056 cases.

• In more than two dozen cases, the same vehicle was caught speeding at more than 40 mph over the speed limit multiple times in the four-year span.
