Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

All drivers must pay attention to the road when they are operating a motor vehicle. Unfortunately, a lot of people in New Mexico don’t. Major crashes are happening more and more often across the state when drivers are not paying attention when they hit the road. More than 3,000 people die and many more are hurt every year across the country because of distracted driving. In the time it takes to send one text, you can drive the length of a football field, which is more than enough time for a terrible car accident. You should always keep your eyes on the road when you’re driving. People who don’t drive carefully should be held responsible in the event of a major car accident.
