Speeding-related Accidents in New Mexico

Drivers in New Mexico have a reputation for being irresponsible behind the wheel. Distracted driving, speeding, and drunk driving are some of the factors contributing to some of the highest crash rates in the country. Every year, speeding drivers cause the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans, and during the past thirty years, speeding has been connected to roughly one-third of all reported traffic fatalities in the country. When you go over the speed limit, you have a higher chance of losing control of your car and suffering severe injuries in an accident. Drivers who engage in reckless behaviors behind the wheel should be held responsible in the event of a serious collision.
