Speeding-Related Accidents in New Mexico

When you go over the speed limit, the likelihood of an automobile collision will always be greater. Many drivers in New Mexico still speed on the state's roads and highways despite the known risks. The most recent crash statistics for the state show that between 2017 and 2019, speeding drivers were involved in 370 fatal crashes. High-speed crashes account for over 35 percent of all traffic fatalities in New Mexico. There are several reasons why speeding raises your chance of a catastrophic collision, but two of the most significant are the potential for you to lose control of your automobile and the distance it takes to stop are greatly increased.

You can never completely prevent a serious car accident when traveling on the road, and a reckless driver can take you by surprise and cause a severe crash at any time.
