This exceeds the national average by a considerable margin. In the more than 40,000 car incidents that occur in the state each year, hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries are documented. The study indicates that speeding, drunk driving, and driver distraction are the primary causes of major collisions in New Mexico, a state known for having some of the most irresponsible drivers.
