What makes Dallas so risky to drive in?

According to a new report from Forbes, Fort Worth comes in 15th among the cities where you're most likely to get into a crash. But Dallas? It tied for first place.

Half the drivers are playing with their phones while the other half do not have insurance.

Some of the people who drive Altimas, Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs, Ford Trucks, old Toyotas, some Chevy trucks, BMW, high class people who dont know what blinkers are, and out of state people.

Plano has Type A motorists. People with a history of bad driving need to have their licenses revoked.

I couldn't take my eyes off of those temperatures at the bottom of the screen. Sheesh.

Back in 1960s, DFW drivers were polite and drove safely. I remember.

[justdrumline]

I get irritated when people switch lanes with no indication of a signal then ride the breaks. Laws in driving need to be taken more cautiously.

I left DFW a couple years ago but when I lived there, bad drivers made my daily commute hellish. A normally 35 min drive would turn into an hour and a half because there'd be 1-2 crashes on my way nearly every day. To and from work.

I thought I have driven with the best, downtown Chicago for 14 years, I have lived in dallas for 3 months, people drive like they are prepared to die 😂

It’s definitely not “out-of-towners.” Texans and Georgians are WELL-KNOWN for being terrible drivers 😂

[keangfamily]

I just got back from Houston yesterday and those drivers were terrible same drivers in Austin and San Antonio too. Las Vegas was bad as the tourists town but Texas worse.

[dannyoh]

AND increase the traffic violation penalty to 500 % !! That'll fix the problem.

I’m a trucker and hate driving in Dallas, not only the horrible drivers but the spaghetti junctions too

[mayavenuemisfit]

Things that totally suck in Dallas:
- driving.
- Dak Prescott in a playoff game.

Zero traffic enforcement on any major highways. People speed 100 + and it’s okay 😮,

[sivarajsenthilkumar]

I understand that these people think that it's the speed that kills. But in my opinion living in DFW, we need all drivers to follow proper lane etiquette. Germany's Autobahn has no speed limits. And yet the country has a lower crash per people when compared to the US. People hogging the left and middle lane is the reason we have crashes in the US. Dallas is the worst end of the stick.

[schtinerbock]

Here is the answer as to why it is so bad. There are zero police enforcing traffic laws. That is why people can do 110 in busy traffic or cross 4 lanes at once. Also if they hit you they don't stop because even if you get their plate the police won't bother going after them.

Man I'm taking public transportation when I move back to TX!!!

[JessieDamon]

they need to fix the roads that are messed up in not build new roads that you hv to pay for

[gusdad]

What makes Dallas so risky to drive in? Illegals. No insurance, and no respect for traffic laws.

Don't blame out of towners/transplants for this, blame Texans who dont know how to properly drive and a state that refuses to properly fund driver training..
