Speeding significantly contributes to traffic accidents, posing ongoing risks despite advancements in automotive safety technologies. This study investigates how auditory alerts influence speeding behavior across different demographic groups, focusing on drivers' age and experience levels. Using a mobile application to collect real-time driving data, we conducted a field study in Copenhagen/Denmark that included various driving environments and controlled auditory warnings for speed limit violations. Our results revealed that auditory alerts were unexpectedly associated with an increased frequency and duration of speeding incidents. The impact of these alerts varied by experience level: intermediate drivers showed reduced speeding duration in response to alerts, whereas novice and highly experienced drivers tended to speed for more extended periods after receiving alerts. These findings underscore the potential benefits of adaptive, experience-sensitive alert systems tailored to driver demographics, suggesting that personalized alerts may enhance safety more effectively than standardized approaches.
