Speeding in Texas: Why Faster Isn’t Smarter
You’re running late. You tap the gas a little harder, figuring you’ll save a few minutes. But that choice could cost someone everything.
Speeding increases both your chances of crashing and the severity of the impact. The faster you go, the less time you have to react—and the more force there is when things go wrong.
In 2023, speeding was a factor in nearly 32% of all fatal crashes in Texas. Over 1,300 people died in single-vehicle run-off-the-road crashes.

⚠️ TIP:
Remember that speeding rarely saves you time. You might get there a few minutes earlier—but you also raise the risk for yourself and everyone else. That’s not a trade worth making.
🤠 Outlaw Reminder:
“Fast don’t always mean smart. Slow down before life slows you down for good.”
Final Takeaway
There’s no trophy for arriving faster. But there’s a lifetime of regret for not arriving at all. Slow down. Someone’s counting on you to come home.
