Speeding-Related Crashes in New Mexico

Everybody on the road is actively at risk from speeding drivers. There is a greater chance of potentially fatal crashes caused by drivers who engage in this risky activity. Speeding significantly impairs vehicle control and lengthens the time required to stop completely. Each year, more than 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers in the United States, making up more than 25 percent of all road deaths on average. More than 30 percent of fatal collisions in the state of New Mexico are caused by speeding, and the habit is unfortunately common on the state’s roads.
