New Mexico plays a critical role in the country’s transportation network and is home to miles and miles of highway. The majority of freight in the United States is transported by large trucks, and these vehicles can pose a serious threat to those traveling in passenger cars. Thousands are killed annually in over 500,000 trucking accidents nationwide, with the vast majority of these fatalities involving the occupants of passenger vehicles. 
The decisions we make can have an impact on those around us, and nowhere is this more true than while out on the road. Reckless driving is a common factor in deadly crashes in the United States. Nearly 13,000 traffic fatalities each year are attributable to reckless drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, New Mexico ranks fifth in the nation for careless driving accidents. 
Entering into the path of another driver is never a safe bet, but that is what we frequently do while crossing at an intersection. According to the Federal Highway Administration, there are more than 2.5 million car crashes reported annually at roadway crossings, making up an estimated 40% of reported traffic accidents nationwide. Even if you have the right of way, you can still be hit by a distracted or negligent driver, and hundreds of traffic fatalities involve red-light runners. 
New Mexico is the perfect state to ride a motorcycle, with its wide-open roadways and scenic landscapes. Sadly, many riders find themselves the victims of serious motorcycle crashes.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 80% of motorcycle accidents result in death or injury. 
The aftermath of a serious crash can leave victims suffering from substantial injuries and other damages. In New Mexico, someone is injured in a collision every 26 minutes on average according to the New Mexico Department of Transportation, contributing to over 25,000 sustained injuries. Statistics show that about every one out of every 130 car wrecks in the state results in a fatality. 
Speeding is a common factor in catastrophic crashes in New Mexico, and anyone who is familiar with Albuquerque streets knows that drivers exceeding the speed limit are a daily occurrence. In 2018, there were 9,378 people killed nationwide in high-speed car wrecks, meaning that nearly 25 people were killed daily by speeding drivers. Over the past twenty years, excess speeds have been cited as factors in nearly one-third of traffic fatalities.
