Don’t you hate distracted drivers?
You know—the driver sending a text message, fiddling with the car’s radio, or eating while driving.
Distracted drivers are dangerous. TxDOT notes that in 2024, a distracted driver caused one in five car crashes on Texas roads.
To avoid distraction behind the wheel, remember:
- Texting while driving is illegal in Texas.
- If you must communicate on the move, pull over and park in a safe place.
- If a driver acts out of line, stay calm. Keep your distance and let that driver go.
- If you think another driver is dangerous to others, pull over in a safe place and call 911.
