Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

Speeding drivers were responsible for 11,258 of the 38,824 fatal auto accidents that occurred in the United States in 2020. In addition to making it more difficult to stop quickly, speeding reduces the efficiency of many safety features on your vehicle. It should come as no surprise that drivers who speed are known to enhance the force of impact in collisions and account for 29 percent of all fatalities. This translates to roughly one death every hour and nearly thirty deaths every day.
