High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico
Due to the increased rates of distracted driving, speeding, and drunk driving, New Mexico has some of the highest rates of crashes in the nation. The state’s motorists are also known for their reckless driving, and that means speeding is common on the road. Speed limits are in place to make the road safer for everyone. Unfortunately, when drivers fail to follow these limits, they are at increased risk of causing a life-changing crash. There are thousands of fatalities caused by speeding drivers in the United States each year. Over the past 20 years, speeding has been attributed to around one-third of all road fatalities. In an accident, you run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and sustaining serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit.
