Most Dangerous Cities to Drive in Texas

(KNUE-FM) We all know that Texas is fantastic, we have good people, amazing food, and lots to do at all times of the year. Although, I think that if there was one thing that all Texans would agree on there is one thing that we could do better here in the Lone Star State, and that would be driving.

Why Texas Roads Are Risky

While it’s almost a joke in Texas that people can be a little crazy behind the wheel, it’s not a funny joke. The facts are that thousands of people lose their lives on Texas roadways each year.

And sure, at times we all might drive a little over the speed limit, there is no reason to drive extremely fast in a state that already has higher speed limits than most other states. Remember, everyone has a family at home that wants them to get home safely.
