Top 5 Most Annoying Things Texas Drivers Do: Stop It!

1. Forget How to Drive in Any Weather That’s Not Perfect

Despite the fact that Texas is known for some amazingly hot weather (which means sunny and clear), there are parts of the state which are known for randomly experiencing rain, snow, hail, strong winds, you name it… And those drivers who suddenly seem to lose all common sense when the weather is anything but perfect can not only be annoying but cause problems or be a danger to others. If we all drove according to conditions, things would be a whole lot better.
2. Talking or Texting on a Cell Phone

There are laws against certain things and for good reason. Hands-free talking is one thing, but clearly holding a phone to your ear to carry on a conversation or accessing your phone to text or scan social media while you’re driving are all illegal and dangerous. It’s annoying to have to not only pay attention to what we’re doing behind the wheel but also keep an eye on you too. Don’t do it.
3. Not Using Turn Signals

Does this really have to explained? We have turn signals for a reason. Use them.
4. Not Dimming Your Lights

In some instances, we’re sure you’ve forgotten to dim the lights when meeting oncoming traffic. However, those of you who purposely don’t change from high to low beams, are making a serious mistake! And it’s dangerous for your fellow drivers.
5. Improper Merging

If you’re getting into traffic without checking your blind spots, you could seriously injure someone. If you’re merging onto a major highway and haven’t got up to the speed limit, expecting others to accommodate you, that’s also quite annoying.
