High-Speed Collisions in New Mexico

Thousands of people are hurt by speeding drivers in the United States each year, and in the past twenty years, speeding has been a factor in roughly one-third of reported traffic fatalities nationwide. New Mexico drivers are some of the worst in the country, and many are known to exceed the posted speed limit. This can greatly increase the risk of a crash for many reasons. Drivers who speed have less reaction time to avoid risks on the road, and many key safety mechanisms on motor vehicles do not work properly when a crash takes place at high rates of speed.
