Recreation Want to drive in Texas? Then pay attention because ignorance is never an acceptable excuse for the law. And in Texas defensive driving skills are highly regarded. Whether you are a licensed driver in Texas or are simply using an out-of-state license, the laws of the state apply. Remember, laws vary from state to state and there are some traffic laws in the state of Texas that can leave drivers scratching their heads or worse breaking the law and ending up with a traffic ticket. Buckle Up This law is pretty straightforward. Everyone in a car should be wearing a seatbelt. Where children are concerned, Texas law strictly requires that children under 15 years of age should be properly restrained no matter where they are sitting in the car. When it comes to getting pulled over by the police in Texas – keep in mind they do not give warnings for not wearing a seatbelt – they give traffic tickets.

For a lot of out of state drivers this can be very disconcerting. Right on red means that unless it is otherwise posted, it is legal to make a right turn at a red light after coming to a complete stop and verifying that lane of travel you are turning into is clear. However, be aware that the signs posting No Right On Red are usually rectangular and hung near the traffic light itself. Failure to obey can lead to a stiff fine and a traffic ticket. When it comes to driving in the state of Texas, nothing is more familiar to local drivers and many visitors than the Don’t Mess With Texas signs that decry against littering and damaging the local beauty. Many cities also post signs requesting that drivers not treat the road like an ashtray. There is more to Don’t Mess With Texas than just not littering – Don’t Mess with Texas also means don’t mess with the laws and proactively adopt defensive driving techniques to manage around careless drivers and in unsafe driving conditions.
