Driving Safely
Texas law requires all occupants — front and back seat — to wear a seatbelt, with fines up to $200 for violations.
Texting while driving is banned statewide, and drivers under 18 may not use a wireless device at all while driving.
Keep both hands on the wheel and scan 10–15 seconds ahead so you have time to react to hazards.
