New Mexico Reckless Driving Wrecks

In the United States, driver distraction is a big problem that gets worse every year. The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) reports that drivers who are not paying attention are a big reason for the high rate of serious collisions across the state. When traveling at highway speeds, you could travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to check your phone, more than enough time to cause a life-changing collision. Using a cell phone while driving is one type of driver distraction, but other things like talking to a passenger or adjusting the radio can be just as dangerous while driving. It is always in your best interests to work closely with a trained legal team during this time.
