New Mexico High-Speed Collisions

With several crashes involving distracted driving, speeding, and intoxicated driving, New Mexico has some of the highest rates of serious collisions in the nation. The state’s drivers are also known for their reckless driving. Speed limits are on the road to keep the road safe for everyone. Unfortunately, when drivers don’t follow these rules, there is a much higher risk of a serious collision. There are thousands of fatalities caused by speeding drivers in the United States each year. Over the past 20 years, speeding has been attributed to around one-third of all road fatalities reported countrywide. In an accident, you run a greater risk of losing control of your vehicle and suffering serious injuries if you exceed the speed limit.
