Reckless Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Many drivers fail to pay attention to the road as they should. Statistics show that over 10 percent of drivers who are distracted behind the wheel do not have their eyes on the road. In the United States, distracted driving is fast rising to the top of the list of factors contributing to catastrophic collisions. Distracted driving encompasses a variety of behaviors, with texting while driving being one of the most common. Driver distraction is a major problem in New Mexico, and there were 21,894 crashes involving distracted drivers recorded in the state in a recent calendar year. Nine people are killed daily in distracted driving crashes across the country, with more than 3,000 resulting fatalities taking place each year. In the event of an accident, drivers who neglect to pay attention to the road should be held accountable.
