Speeding Crashes in New Mexico

There’s a stigma associated with reckless driving among New Mexico drivers. Some of the factors contributing to crashes in the state include driving while distracted, driving too fast, and driving while intoxicated. Tens of thousands of Americans lose their lives to speeding drivers each year, and during the last 30 years, speeding has been linked to around one-third of all documented traffic fatalities in the nation. In an accident, you run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and incurring serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit. If you or a loved one is seriously hurt in a catastrophic crash, drivers who act recklessly behind the wheel should be made to face consequences.
