Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Distracted driving is a serious issue that is becoming worse every year in the United States. Data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) indicates that distracted drivers contribute significantly to auto accidents in the state. It is common to see drivers looking down at their phones these days, and you can easily travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text on the highway. Mobile device use is one type of driver distraction, but talking to a passenger or fiddling with the radio is also dangerous.
