New Mexico Speeding-Related Crashes

A lot of drivers in New Mexico have a habit of speeding on the state’s roads and highways. According to the state’s most recent crash data, during a recent two-year period, there were 370 fatal crashes involving speeding drivers reported throughout the state. In New Mexico, approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities are caused by high-speed crashes. There are several reasons why driving too fast increases the risk of a major accident, including the increased chance of losing control of their cars.
