15 States with the Most Dangerous Drivers # 7. New Mexico: carelessness at high speeds

New Mexico ranks as the seventh worst driving state overall, mostly because the state has a high rate of careless driving and speeding fatalities. This may be about to change; New Mexico’s new “Careless Driver Law” imposes 90 days of jail time for being distracted behind the wheel. These are the things that will get you a speeding ticket besides speeding.
