Car Accidents in Texas
Texas roads, including rural Farm-to-Market routes like FM 15 and FM 2108, see thousands of accidents each year. The state consistently ranks high for both urban and rural traffic incidents that leave victims and their families facing unexpected medical costs and long recovery times. In 2023 alone, Texas reported countless crashes, highlighting the need for greater awareness and caution behind the wheel.
Understanding the common causes of rural crashes can help drivers stay safe. Here are some important points:
- Narrow Roadways: Many Farm-to-Market roads are narrower than city streets and lack shoulders. This leaves less room for error, making collisions more likely if drivers drift or overcorrect.
- Animal Crossings: Rural roads often pass through wooded or open areas where deer and other wildlife frequently cross. Drivers should remain vigilant, especially during early morning and dusk hours when animals are more active.
- Limited Lighting: Many rural roads lack adequate street lighting, which can make it difficult to see obstacles, curves, or other vehicles at night. Using high beams when safe can help improve visibility.
- Speeding on Open Roads: Long, open stretches can tempt drivers to speed, but higher speeds reduce reaction times and increase the severity of crashes. It’s always best to obey posted speed limits and adjust speed for road conditions.
