Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Reckless driving can take many forms on the road. Distracted driving is on the rise across the country. When a driver looks down at their phones rather than the road, they become an active threat on the road. Distraction is a serious issue on New Mexico roads, contributing to a high number of serious collisions in the state. In fact, New Mexico has one of the highest rates of distracted driving crashes in the nation, with statistics indicating that this negligent behavior accounts for about 36 percent of all traffic deaths in the state. You could travel the length of a football field at highway speeds in the time it takes to send one text, which is more than enough to result in a disastrous collision.
