New Mexico Distracted Driving Crashes

Some of the worst drivers in the nation can be found in New Mexico. Even if you abide by all driving laws, car accidents can and still happen. This is because you are powerless to control what other people do when operating a vehicle. Driver distraction rose to the top of the state's list of causes of traffic accidents in a recent year, contributing to nearly 8.3 percent of fatal fatalities and about 21.5 percent of collisions resulting in injuries. Texting behind the wheel is bad, but other habits, such as talking with a passenger or messing with a radio, can also take your focus off the road. When a driver engages in negligent behaviors and causes a crash, they should be held accountable for their actions.
