New Data Reveals Where Texas Drivers Are the Worst

Texans are great at so many things, but I am not sure driving should be on the list for all Texans. And that doesn’t just apply to people living in bigger cities such as Dallas or Houston; any highway in Texas can be dangerous when people aren’t paying attention. Texas drivers have the sixth-highest accident rate in the nation.

Okay, it’s not the highway itself; it’s the drivers that love to go fast to get to their destination. It’s not just about speed. In fact, recently we were discussing some of the infractions that law enforcement is looking for right now as they are trying to make roads in Texas safer. Unfortunately, we see fatalities way too often on Texas roadways, but some areas just seem to be worse than others.
