Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

Every year, more and more car accidents are caused by distracted driving, which is becoming more and more common in the United States. It makes sense that drivers pose a major risk to everyone when they are staring down at their phones rather than on the road. Driver distraction is a serious issue in New Mexico, where it contributes significantly to the state’s yearly traffic fatalities. According to statistics, driver inattention accounts for about 36 percent of road fatalities in New Mexico, making it one of the worst states in the country for distracted driving crashes. At highway speeds, you can cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text, and this is more than enough to cause a life-changing crash.
