People in Texas believe that the roadways are less safe than before, even though statistics show that deaths have reduced. Today, the laws have become more stringent and more attention is being paid to the enforcement of solutions, yet meaningful safety measures entirely depend on the changing attitudes.
So, why do drivers feel less safe even when the vehicle safety and road conditions have been greatly improved? Half of them feel threatened by aggressive driving and the other half believe texting is the main culprit. 80% of people on the road feel that texting while on the wheel and using mobile phones have become a bigger problem and now they favor laws banning these practices. While 40% of them feel speeding is the worst problem they face.
Now, even when laws have become strict and penalties for breaking the traffic rules can be over the head, then why do drivers still risk their lives by texting? Aggressive driving is also another thing people have to watch out for, especially at this time of the year. The festive season can bring in the worst out of drivers. Long travels plus heavy traffic will raise the frustration levels of the drivers and just in one click, drivers can become aggressive.
So, to be safe on the road, try to change your attitude. Just remember that you share the road with others as well.
