Car Accidents in Texas
Car accidents happen far too often in Texas, with more than 600,000 crashes reported in 2022, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Many of these accidents stem from drivers getting distracted or making poor choices while behind the wheel.
Distracted driving is one of the top causes of car accidents in Texas. With smartphones always within reach, many drivers take their eyes off the road to send a quick text, make a call, or browse online. Even just a moment of distraction can result in a serious crash. Speeding is another major factor in accidents. When drivers go over the speed limit, they reduce the time they have to react to sudden changes, which increases the chances of a collision.
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs also contributes significantly to the number of accidents. Impaired drivers tend to have slower reaction times and impaired judgment, often leading to dangerous situations. In 2022, a large portion of traffic deaths in Texas involved alcohol-related incidents.
Weather conditions can also play a big role in causing accidents. Heavy rain, fog, and icy roads make driving more difficult and hazardous. Drivers who fail to adjust their speed or driving habits during bad weather are at a higher risk of causing accidents. Reckless behaviors like tailgating, weaving through traffic, and aggressive driving are also major contributors to crashes.
