Distracted Driving Crashes in New Mexico

You have to focus entirely on the road when driving. New Mexico drivers frequently text behind the wheel, and this behavior is quickly becoming one of the top causes of disastrous collisions nationwide. While it should go without saying that using a phone while driving is dangerous, many drivers do it on a daily basis. One of the highest percentages of distracted driving-related crashes nationwide occurs in New Mexico. The state has 82 fatal collisions per million citizens that are believed to be caused by distracted drivers.
