New Mexico High-Speed Crashes

When you go over the speed limit, the likelihood of an automobile collision will always be much greater. Many drivers in New Mexico still speed on the state’s roads and highways despite the known risks. The most recent crash statistics for the state show that speeding drivers were involved in 370 fatal crashes during a recent two-year study. High-speed crashes in New Mexico accounted for over 35 percent of all traffic fatalities. There are several reasons why speeding raises your chance of a catastrophic collision, but two of the most important ones are the potential for you to lose control of your automobile and the distance it takes to come to a full stop.
