New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of serious crashes across the country. The most common example is texting while driving, but there are many other forms of driver distraction, including eating, talking on the phone, or even just conversing with a passenger. Driver inattention is sweeping the state, and in a recent year, 21,894 crashes involved some form of driver distraction. More than 3,000 people are killed by distracted drivers each year in the United States, with nearly nine people dying daily in these accidents. Drivers who are distracted will have their eyes off the road at least 10 percent of the time. 

The actions of other drivers are far from predictable, and most New Mexico residents know someone who has been hurt in serious car accidents.
