Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Serious auto accidents are increasingly being caused by distracted drivers. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Mexico’s rate of reckless driving is seventh in the country. A new study indicates that driving while distracted can be equally hazardous as driving under the influence. There were 21,894 collisions in New Mexico in a recent year that involved some form of human error. Younger drivers are more likely to be distracted while driving, and the age range of 20 to 24 made up the largest percentage of accident victims.
