High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

You have a far higher chance of getting into an accident when you drive too fast. According to basic physics, crashes at high speeds have a far bigger impact because drivers are just less able to control their cars. Speeding is a terrible habit among drivers in New Mexico. According to statistics, high-speed hits are involved in about 37 percent of fatal crashes in the state. Speeding has been linked to almost one-third of all road deaths in the United States over the last 20 years. It is well-recognized that speeding can be the difference between a major collision and a minor fender-bender.
