Insurance company statistics show that one of the main causes of accidents is distracted driving. I know even though I'm careful about distractions, occasionally something will take my attention away from the road.
Texas has thousands of miles of rural roadways and a very high percentage of drunken driving according to stats. The fines for DUI here in Texas will stand your hair on end besides having to post bond to get out of jail. Yet the idiots who drive while intoxicated are usually repeat offenders.
Just this past Thursday there was a massive pileup on i35W which is a main freeway going into downtown Fort Worth. There was a bit of freezing rain on the highway, and of course no one slows down. Five people died and 130 vehicles were involved. It shut the freeway down for most of the day. What a mess.
