Texas drivers definitely get a bad rep when it comes to their driving skills and if I’m going to be honest, I can kind of see why. Living in Texas most of my life I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to driving here in the great state. There are just some parts of Texas when driving that you just know you’re going to see an accident, I know that sounds terrible but that’s the reality for a lot of Texans.

We’re all taught to make sure when driving to keep our hands 10 and 2, be conscious of our surroundings, and follow all of the directions that the Texas Public Safety Handbook, conducts, but that’s not always the case. Road trips in Texas can definitely make you anxious because of the highways. There are some highways here in Texas that have some of the scariest and deadliest accidents you have ever seen. According to Herman & Herman PLLC, one of the most dangerous roads you might want to avoid in Texas is also known as the number one deadliest in the state and the second most dangerous in the country.

Unfortunately, it’s a struggle to really avoid this particular road because it drives straight through Texas, I’m talking about Highway I- 45. Highway I -45 finds itself averaging 56.5 fatal accidents per hundred miles over an eight-year study conducted by the accident data center. Not to mention, the same highway that extends through Dallas stretches straight to Harris County, where the city of Houston resides. I -45 and Houston have found themselves seen up to more than 100 traffic fatalities, including 11 deaths in interstate traffic accidents in one recent year. The reality is driving alone could be scary, it’s not about how you drive it’s really about if the driver next to you is paying attention as well. If you can help it avoid driving I-45, but if not, remember to keep an eye out on your surroundings and on the road, it could save your life.
