We have Accidents involving Mexico plated vehicles almost daily in Southern AZ. Most have fatalities as seat belts are not wore by most Mexico travelers or there are too many people in a vehicle. Thus there is always someone thrown from the vehicle and dies. I think what catches them off guard is the speed limit. They come from Mexico where the speed limit is rarely even 60 mph / 100 kph and start driving our 80 mph limit (75 legal plus the 5 LEO gives us). They arrive at a corner too fast or have to make a high speed maneuver and lose control rolling the vehicle. Sad because we have it happen on I19 often.
YES, the Mexico traveler / SHOPPER is a huge portion of the AZ economy. Millions of dollars are spent on products and hauled back to Mexico. We are very thankful in AZ as the economy is still trying to recover. Just surprises me sometime when a little tiny car (models you can't get in USA) which does not look to be in the greatest condition passes my Dodge Ram 4X4 while I am doing 76 mph leaving me in its dust. Just need to protect yourself with correct insurance coverage.
