New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

With a high rate of distracted driving, speeding, and intoxicated driving, New Mexico has some of the highest rates of crashes in the nation. The state’s drivers are also known for their reckless driving. Speed limits are in place to help make sure everyone on the road can get where they’re going safely. Unfortunately, when drivers don’t obey them, the road is a much more dangerous place. 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 deaths reported countrywide. In an accident, you run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and suffering serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit.
