Speeding-related Crashes in New Mexico

There are some driving practices that can significantly raise the risk of an automobile collision. Across the nation, high-speed crashes frequently contribute to roadway fatalities. A total of 11,258 of the 38,824 fatal car crashes that occurred in the United States in a recent year were brought on by speeding drivers. Not only does speeding make it more difficult to stop quickly, but it also makes any injuries that arise from it more severe. It should come as no surprise that approximately 29 percent of all traffic deaths nationwide are caused by speeding drivers. This translates to around 30 deaths per day and almost one death per hour.
