Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

Many drivers fail to give the road their full attention. Over 10 percent of drivers who are distracted behind the wheel do not have their eyes on the road, and in the United States, this negligent behavior has quickly become one of the leading causes of serious crashes. One of the most common types of distracted driving is texting while driving. Driver distraction is a major problem in New Mexico. A total of 21,894 collisions involving distracted motorists were reported in the state in a recent year. Every day, nine people lose their lives in distracted driving crashes on American roads, resulting in over 3,000 fatalities annually. In the event of an accident, drivers who do not pay attention to the road risk themselves being held accountable for any injuries and other losses their distraction may cause to others.
