New Mexico Reckless Driving Collisions
The actions you take behind the wheel can have a serious impact on roadway safety. Even though many drivers choose to follow the rules of the road, it is an unfortunate reality that many other motorists fail to do the same. Reckless driving is involved in an estimated one-third of traffic fatalities reported annually in the United States, contributing to over 13,000 deadly collisions each year.
Car crashes in New Mexico are caused by a variety of roadway hazards, such as poor driving, excessive speed, unsafe road conditions, poor truck maintenance, road construction, and inadequate signage.

Even with traffic signals and stop signs, intersections continue to be a dangerous place for New Mexico drivers. Roadway crossings are the scene of nearly 40% of reported auto accidents each year, despite only making up a small fraction of roads nationwide. These types of crashes are often severe and are involved in an estimated one-quarter of traffic fatalities and nearly one-half of injury collisions. 
Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do nearly every day. There are more than 40,000 car crashes reported annually in New Mexico, resulting in over 25,000 sustained injuries. According to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, someone is injured in a collision every 26 minutes on average. Driver distraction is one of the leading contributors to serious wrecks in the state. 
No matter how safe a driver you may be, there is always the chance that a reckless driver will cause you to be injured while out on the road. New Mexico is home to a high number of reckless motorists. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the state ranks fifth in the country for careless driving accidents. 
You would never drive into the path of an oncoming vehicle, but when you cross at an intersection, that is exactly what you’re doing. This makes roadway crossings inherently dangerous, but despite traffic signals and signs to curb serious crashes, intersections continue to be a hotspot for sudden accidents. Nearly half of all injury collisions occur at roadway crossings. 
When you exceed the speed limit, you are putting yourself and others on the road in danger of being involved in a serious collision. Speeding has been a factor in nearly one-third of reported roadway fatalities over the past twenty years. In 2018, there were 9,378 confirmed fatalities attributable to speeding drivers. That means nearly 25 people were killed daily in high-speed accidents that year. 
Pedestrians are at a greater disadvantage when involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Statistics show that those traveling on foot are nearly 1.5 times more likely to be killed in the event of a traffic accident. In 2017, a total of 5,977 pedestrians were killed nationwide, with a pedestrian fatality taking place every 88 minutes on average. New Mexico had the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities that year.
