Speeding-related Accidents in New Mexico

According to statistics, there has been an increase in distracted driving, speeding, and drunk driving crashes in recent years. New Mexico roads are some of the most dangerous in the country. Given the state's reputation for having risky drivers, speeding is a common occurrence on the highways. The goal of speed limits is to keep everyone safe on the road. Unfortunately, drivers who fail to follow these rules run the risk of causing serious car accidents. Every year, hundreds of fatalities in the United States are caused by speeding drivers, and in the past 20 years, speeding has been connected to over one-third of all road fatalities. When drivers go out onto the road, they must respect speed limits. Exceeding these limits increases the chance of losing control of the vehicle and being seriously hurt.
