Speeding charges in New Mexico
Speeding is charged when an officer alleges you drove faster than the posted or presumed limit, typically measured by radar, lidar, or pacing. It is the most common moving violation and the one most often reduced or dismissed with the right defense. In New Mexico, a conviction adds demerit points toward the New Mexico MVD suspension threshold of 12 points in 12 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Speeding ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Attorneys frequently challenge radar/lidar calibration logs, the officer's training and line of sight, pacing accuracy, and whether the posted limit was properly signed.
