New Mexico to run new anti-texting while driving ad in July

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has announced the state will run a new anti-texting while driving ad in July. The governor said Friday the ad features a woman who answers a text message while behind the wheel and kills a child crossing the street. The new ad comes amid an advertising blitz aimed at combatting drunken driving in the state. Martinez signed a measure in 2014 that prohibits texting while driving in New Mexico, except when seeking medical or other emergency help.
