Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

When a driver speeds, it’s harder to keep control of a car and stop in time to avoid risks on the road. Putting these two things together can be very dangerous and greatly increase the chance of a major car accident. Statistics show that speeding drivers have been involved in almost a third of all road deaths in the United States over the last 20 years. Each year, over 10,000 people are killed in high-speed accidents. People here in New Mexico have a bad habit of speeding, and nearly 35 percent of fatal crashes in the state are caused by drivers going too fast. Exceeding the speed limit is very dangerous, and people who do it should be held responsible for their carelessness if they cause an accident.
