Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

No one plans to be hurt in a car accident. What we do behind the wheel can affect others, and drivers who speed run a far higher risk of being involved in an accident. The increased stopping distance makes it more difficult to avoid unexpected hazards on the road. Speeding is also known to raise the risk of losing control of a motor vehicle. The impact force can easily cause more catastrophic injuries in a high-speed collision. According to the most recent crash statistics, thousands of people are killed by speeding drivers in the United States every year, and high-speed crashes account for almost 25 percent of all fatal car accidents.
