New Mexico Reckless Driving Crashes

Distracted driving is becoming more common as we witness more and more drivers staring down at their phones every day. Statistics indicate that approximately 41 percent of fatal collisions nationwide involve some form of distracted driving, and it accounts for a startlingly high proportion of crashes in New Mexico. This is nearly 12 percentage points higher than the second-highest state on the list, Hawaii. New Mexico’s distracted driver fatality rate is nearly five times greater than the national average. These statistics should worry everybody who has to drive on New Mexico roadways, and remember that a distracted motorist can cause an accident at any time.
