Distracted Driving Accidents in New Mexico

In the United States driver distraction is a severe problem that is getting worse with time. According to data from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), driver distraction is a major factor in the majority of auto accidents in the state. In the few seconds it takes to check your phone, you can travel the length of a football field while traveling at highway speeds. One type of driver distraction is using a mobile device, but other activities like talking with a passenger or fiddling with the radio are also seen to be distracting while driving.
