New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

In the United States, driver distraction is a big problem that continues to get worse every year. The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) says that drivers who are not focusing on the road are a primary contributor to most car crashes in the state. At highway speeds, you could easily travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to check your phone. Using a cell phone while driving is one type of driver distraction. Other behaviors, like talking to a passenger or adjusting the radio, are also seen as possibly dangerous while driving. You need to work closely with a trained legal team to get the most out of your case.
