Reckless Driving Accidents in New Mexico

You need to keep your eyes on the road when driving a motor vehicle. Sadly, a lot of drivers don't seem to be able to follow this basic rule of the road. Distracted driving has emerged as a significant contributing factor in numerous high-profile car crashes in New Mexico. In fact, distracted driving causes over 3,000 fatalities and over 400,000 injuries each year in the United States. If you glance down to send a text while driving at highway speeds, you can see the length of a football field, and drivers who are distracted will take their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time. If a driver fails to pay attention to the road and causes a serious crash, they should be held responsible.
