Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

A lot of drivers in New Mexico have a habit of speeding on the state’s roads and highways. According to the state’s most current collision data, over a recent two-year period, there were 370 fatal crashes involving speeding drivers reported throughout the state. Approximately one-third of all traffic deaths in New Mexico are caused by high-speed collisions. There are several reasons why driving too fast increases the risk of a major accident. One of the main consequences is that drivers have a higher chance of losing control of their cars and require a lot more time to stop completely. You also run a higher chance of incurring severe injuries in high-speed collisions since your car’s safety measures are not built to perform as intended.
