Car Accidents in Texas
Texas consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of vehicle accidents each year. In 2022, data from the Texas Department of Transportation revealed over 4,000 fatalities and more than 200,000 injuries from traffic-related incidents. High-speed roadways like the Dallas Tollway are common sites for collisions due to congestion and frequent lane changes.
Below are some safety tips to consider while driving on Texas toll roads and highways:
- Maintain a Safe Distance: Tailgating can lead to rear-end collisions, especially during sudden stops in heavy traffic.
- Use Turn Signals: Proper signaling before lane changes helps prevent misunderstandings between drivers.
- Avoid Speeding: Adhering to speed limits allows for better control of your vehicle and reduces crash risks.
- Stay Alert: Distractions like phone use, eating, or adjusting vehicle controls significantly increase the likelihood of accidents.
Practicing these habits can help reduce the chances of accidents and ensure safer travel for everyone on the road.
