Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving is fast rising to the top of the list of factors contributing to catastrophic accidents across the nation. New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driver crashes, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It’s even been proven that driver distraction can be just as dangerous as intoxicated driving. Most distracted driving victims are under the age of 20, and human error is the primary cause of most auto accidents. Each year, inattentional driving results in the deaths of over 3,000 individuals and hundreds of thousands of grave injuries. Almost 10 percent of the time, drivers who are distracted will take their eyes off the road.
