Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Driver distraction is a serious issue that is becoming worse every single year in the United States. Data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) shows that most car accidents in the state are caused in large part by distracted drivers. You could cover the length of a football field in the few seconds it takes to check your phone when traveling at highway speeds. Using a mobile device while driving is one kind of driver distraction, but other behaviors such as talking with a passenger or adjusting the radio are also considered to be potentially dangerous behind the wheel.
