I have traveled around Mexico for years by car. In the old days the only thing that would happen bad was la mordita, which is a bribe and translates as “the bite.”
The mordita was not much and I really enjoyed traveling the country. I never felt unsafe until the last 10 years.

I am a white gringo and my wife is Mexican from Mexico and we are both bilingual. Today the only way we will go to Mexico is via plane and only to certain secure areas. Unfortunately those secure areas are where all the tourists go. We do not go there very much anymore. It is to damn dangerous!
