Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

There is always a potential for a serious auto accident, but when a driver chooses to exceed the speed limit, it is increased significantly. Speeding makes it harder to control a vehicle while also greatly increasing stopping distance, making it harder for drivers to react to unforeseen dangers on the road. In the United States, speeding drivers kill thousands of people every year, and research shows that high-speed collisions account for over 25 percent of fatal collisions each year. When drivers willfully neglect the law and cause a serious car accident, they should be held responsible for the resulting injuries and other damages. 

New Mexico drivers are some of the worst in the country, and a serious crash can happen at almost any time. It only takes a few seconds for a reckless driver to cause a serious car accident.
