New Mexico Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving is on the rise as we witness an increasing number of drivers constantly glancing down at their phones behind the wheel. According to the most recent figures, distracted driving is a contributing factor in about 41 percent of fatalities across the nation and accounts for an astoundingly high percentage of crashes in New Mexico. New Mexico's rate of distracted driving crashes is nearly 12 points higher than Hawaii, the second-highest state on the list. However, it is nearly five times higher than the national average. These figures should worry everyone who has to drive in New Mexico, and they should remind everyone that a distracted driver can cause an accident at any time.
