New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

It’s not unusual to see drivers in New Mexico using their phones while behind the wheel, and new surveys show that a sizable portion of drivers freely acknowledge looking down at a cell phone. New Mexico has a particular issue with driver distraction. The most recent data indicates that distracted driving causes around 40.75 percent of all collisions in New Mexico—nearly five times greater than the national average. It has been shown that driving while distracted is just as harmful as driving after intoxication, both of which are serious issues in the state.
