Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

There is nothing wrong with slowing down in traffic to check out landmarks if you are unfamiliar with a roadway. However, if a motorist is looking down at a phone or even just adjusting the radio dial, they may fail to notice dangers on the road and cause a serious collision. Driver distraction is a serious issue in New Mexico and contributes to many serious car accidents each year. In 2020, driver distraction was a contributing factor in nearly 36 percent of traffic fatalities across the state, and the data show that New Mexico is the worst state in the union for driver distraction.
