I don't know where you got your information but as a life long Fort Worth resident I can tell you that we do not get four warnings before we get fines. It is actually rare that you will get a warning. I'm 60 years old and have been getting tickets since I was 16 so I do have experience with the process.
I think it depends on where you are, and who you get. Most cops here in Plano are complete assholes and seem to take pride in writing you as many citations as they can.
@@jfoster. Why complain that they are doing their job (with pride :-) LOL) I'm 76 years old, born in Texas. If you want to avoid tickets (and be safer, BTW), drive the speed limit or the prevailing speed of the lane you're in. I operate a safety-critical industrial lifting and rigging business; we release or reassign drivers who continue to be a safety risk. I desperately want to avoid being responsible for someone being hurt or killed because I didn't do MY job.
Yes, they may be from a country where the rules are quite strict, but this channel seems a bit tone-deaf in touting their moral high ground at the expense of truth and accuracy. I've never heard of a rule that someone gets 4 warnings before being cited. I think it would be accurate to say that most traffic police write more moving violations than warnings. My wife got a warning one time for going 28 mph in a 20 mph zone, driving into a subdivision (no homes in that segment). She told the cop she had been driving for 15 years and had never gotten a ticket. He checked the record and told her since he found that to be true, he would make an exception that is rare for him. By the way, Interstate 35 is Dallas and Fort Worth through Austin and San Antonio, NOWHERE near Houston. Being accurate in your rhetoric and the factual details isn't that difficult if you value good reporting instead of hyperbole.
30 years old, have never received a speeding ticket and I be 15-20 over every day. Most Texas officers will let you go if you have a clean record n respectful. Unless it’s a state trooper, then you fucked
I live 20ish minutes west of Fort Worth. Moved here after getting out of the military back in 2012. I noticed driving got so much worse as the thousands and thousands of people moving in from California. I'm not saying it's only Californians, but the Dallas Fort Worth area has grown faster than they can build infrastructure.
As a Dallas mailman, I've seen people just disregard stop signs and treat them as a yield. When power is out , people don't follow the flashing red rule to treat them as a stop sign. People just go when they want instead of getting in a rhythm. PEOPLE DON'T USE SIGNAL LIGHTS . If they do , it's 3 feet away from their turn or 2 seconds before they merge. People have something in their brain that makes them want to be first in traffic. They'll speed in front of you just to go slower than you . They side eye you when they're wrong. The list goes on
I live near Keller, in all my years I’ve never seen more road rage and blatant disregard for stop signs, I grew up all over Dallas, DeSoto and Duncanville, and only recall one time being targeted by someone road raging. Get over here thinking Fort Worth was slower paced… NO WAY! I actually hate it here, I’ve been here 5 years due to my husbands job but we are actively looking back in the Southwest Dallas Co. area again. Maybe Grand Prairie, or Mansfield. I like the diversity and easy going attitude, this place is heck!
30 miles north of Dallas- Ft Worth, I-35 splits at Denton, TX into I-35 East to Dallas and I-35 West going through Ft Worth. Almost 90 miles south of Denton at Hillsboro, TX, I-35E and I-35W rejoin to continue as I-35. Both are like driving in a NASCAR race.
I live in Fort Worth and 35 is just never going to be a finished highway. They cannot go a single year it seems without having to "fix" something on the highway that was never messed up in the first place. And the amount of old highway lanes that are perfectly fine but just blocked by barricades exactly like at 1:45 are just astounding. Perfectly good road they won't let us drive on. Edit: it's also messed up how much of the highway is barricaded on both sides so there's not even an emergency shoulder lane a lot of the times for people to pull over to if something happens.
Some professions have no choice to drive or close. Drivers have a responsibility to drive according to conditions, but TXDot failed to salt that section of the highway - playing a major part and why that particular section was an ice rink in the first place.
If it's too icy, just stay home. If you have no choice, ice is perfectly safe to drive on if you know ice can be anywhere even if you can't see it, have good tires, drive no faster than 10 - 15mph, and avoid brake usage, other drivers, expressways and hills. We salt in Michigan, but salt is worthless if it's colder than 23F. All of those drivers assumed the conditions were appropriate for their speed and assumed wrong.
Could always just drive slowly and cautiously, you know, like the rest of the country does when it freezes. My fellow Texans are not smart enough to figure out the logistics on ice
My son’s car was just hit and totaled on 35E in Lewisville, Texas just last month! It’s “the worst” section of 35 in regards to pot holes, always under construction, reckless drivers, you name it! It’s horrible! But, he has to drive it to and from work. I say a prayer for him every day! 🙏
A week ago I was travelling from Texarkana to a little town east of San Antonio. I drove 2 hours out of my way just to avoid getting on I-35. Them I-35 drivers are nuts!
Whoever this "reporter" is,he has his facts all kinds of wrong!!! Been an officer in TX for 26 years and know for a fact he's ever so slightly confused. Not to mention, every state in the US have their own traffic laws, it's not broad coverage nation wide 😂 PLEASE IGNORE ALL OF THE COMMENTATORS COMMENTS!!!
As a 28 year old who grew up in Texas, now lives in the midwest, and have gotten exactly two warnings in my life - both of which were for going way over the posted limit, his comments about speeding warnings being "unconventional" drove me nuts. The first time, I was 17 or 18, honest mistake in a new town. The last one, I was speeding from Iowa to South Dakota and was pushing my 300cc motorcycle as hard as it would go, especially through that clip in Nebraska that is just ugly hell to drive. Came barreling through a small town in SD which was moronic anyway. He clocked me in at 86 or something in a 60 or 65. I told him I had been riding all day and was just pushing my bike and apologized for the blatant stupidity of it all. Cop was very nice, gave me a warning. Now, I don't speed in South Dakota because my warning is way out the window now.
This is another case of a dude from a country the size of Idaho thinking his model of the world should fit globally. Incidentally, his country is in shambles, so he might want to pay closer attention to home because it's a wreck over there. Check out Birmingham, England for proof.
It's obvious he ain't from here. Hyway 20 from Dallas to Shreveport is the second most dangerous stretch, hyway 31 from Tyler to Kilgore is king of death , it's not called "bloody31 " for nothing
Dont forget DUI ;) over 11000 people a year die in the USA to drunk drivers, about 32% of crash fatalities involve drunk drivers. The nhtsa gov website also states that 1 person is killed every 39 mins in the use due to drunk driving crashes.
texas drivers also tend to drive fast and texas often has higher limits than other states. so when crashes do inevitably happen, there is more force behind them.
I live in dallas and this is so true 4:28, no enforcement of driving laws.... no complacement from the cops.... people drive however they want.... and I have literally got honked for doing a full stop at a stop sign 🤡
It's the wild west out here friend 😢 I've been honked, aggressively passed and flipped off by a pickup while I was going almost 70mph on a 65 speed limit zone.
The lead biker should be in prison for leading kids to be so reckless on the highway making it dangerous for all other traffic. His open defiance of the police alone should get his license revoked for 10 years at least.
The noise where I live (just off I35 in North Fort Worth) is horrible on Friday and Saturday night, and it's been that way for years. The cops know but don't stop it.
This is for the guy speaking to the camera about bike life. It's is awesome that you want to give youths better opportunities than the drugs and gang shit, but doing it the way you are is only trading one bad influence for another one that's not a better path in life only a different one that is not only very dangerous, illegal, and not a positive impact in the community. Showing the youths in the group that it is ok to disregard the law by riding dirt bikes on the hiway which is illegal, due to them not having signals, headlights, or plates, and telling the cops to F off when they are trying to do a job, is not being a good role model. I started riding dirt bikes at 5 years old. I have done some racing, and continued riding not only dirt bikes, but also street bikes, and still presently ride at the age of 55. Riding your dirt bike on the street is not only unnecessarily dangerous for the ride but also the rest of the community. They also have places to go and should not have to stop and be late cause you have no regard and think you own the street. If you go down and the car behind you can not stop, they have to live with that image of running over you and that's not right. Be a better role model and take it to the dirt, not the street.
As a retired police officer from California, I can attest that CELLPHONES and speed are the two most prolific issues when driving. One day, while following a school bus through a community, the bus stopped and activated its red flashing lights and started to let kids out. As I watched from behind the bus, I saw a black Prius approaching from the opposite direction drive right past the bus that was unloading kids and as she past me, she had her nose buried in her phone. I turned around and conducted a traffic stop. After I asked her why she didn’t stop for the big yellow school bus with the flashing red lights, her first reply was “What school bus?” I told her to look in her mirror and she told me “I didn’t see it.” Needless to say she was cited for the offense. When I asked why she looking at her phone she told me that she was using the “Waze” app looking for a street. Until more stringent penalties are adopted, this problem WILL CONTINUE to cause crashes and unfortunately deaths. As for “no cops around”, you can thank the “defund the police” movement which has decimated many traffic divisions, patrol divisions, detective Bureaus, and many departments. Plus some police department leadership have become more “lenient” (for lack of a better term). Maybe things will finally turn around after January.
I've been to southern CA a lot before 2020. Most of the time traffic was too heavy to attain the posted speed limit. One of the safe driving tips was violated 100% and that was spacing between yourself and the vehicle ahead. Every time I had 2 second gap it was only a matter of seconds before a CA driver would stuff themselves into the space. Eventually I gave up trying to get a 2 sec gap. I-35 in Texas has been a heavy volume + high speed road for years. My first visit was to Austin and our rental car strained to keep up with 80-85 mph and 8 lanes wide in places. This was mid 1980's with 55 speed limit.
I live outside of Temple Tx and the police dont pull drivers over here very often. People do u turns in the middle of the road, cut people off, tailgate at 90 mph and this happens in front of leos who keep going as if nothing happened. There is no defund the police crap here, so that isnt the issue. Temple has more officers that I have seen in 40 years, but they drive almost as bad as everyone else.
About 10 years ago I worked at a plant and our facility was at a major intersection without a stop light, and I dealt with major wrecks there (a few fatal wrecks who killed a few friends of mine), but I pulled an 18 year old boy out of his car after he was T-boned by someone who wasn't paying attention. I pulled him out in the middle of winter in a snowstorm here near Pittsburgh, I covered him in my jacket, and yelled for people to call 911. Thanks be to God, he lived and recovered, but when I leaned in his car to shut off the engine there was less than 12" between his seat and the center console. I don't care if he knows who I am as I am no hero, it was just comforting to know that that kid made a full recovery. I also yanked a fellow truck driver out of his tractor after he wrecked from having a major heart attack. My friend and I got him out of the tractor and gave him CPR until the ambulance showed up. He had a quadruple bypass, but he's alive to this day. Once again, I'm no hero, just a man who has done his best to look out for others. I would hope that if I had been in the same situation someone would do the same for me.
God bless you for having the courage to act when the opportunity presented itself. I have also been fortunate to know how to act when it was necessary - I have faith enough in human nature to believe that if I had not been there , someone else would have stepped in to save those lives.
You are a good man. There aren't many if them anymore. I'm a disabled older woman and don't think I'd be much help with rescue, but I'll tell you, I would sit with the injured and keep them calm and warm until someone like you can help me and lift them to safety. Thanks for all you do.
The problem falls on the ease for a toddler to get a license. No one in DFW knows how to drive, 635 is a nightmare with people driving from 45mph to 90mph. People driving slow in the fast lane and causing accidents when changing lanes not looking or using their blinkers to inform others of their intentions.
I 100% agree with this video having lived in many different countries and different US states, speaking from experience the worst drivers in the developed world are definitely in Dallas, Houston Texas and Miami, Orlando Florida you literally take your life in your hands everyday! Houston and Dallas have the most dangerous drivers combined with unintuitive highways in the US, I know people who have died been crippled and lost their legs been paralyzed in car accidents on Dallas’s highways, I-35 San Antonio, Austin, Dallas is the worst with tail gating at over 100+ mph over taking in the slow lane and excessive speeds of 100+ mph, people really don’t give a F**k about other drivers in Texas or Florida, COPS need to do more to curb dangerous driving! They can’t drive here or are deliberately inconsiderate unlike in Germany where people are skilled at high speed driving and only use the outside lane for passing
Very true. But it's not only the cops. The damn lawyers and the judges are also to blame. Judges are to easy, DA's agree to plea deals in order to get a conviction instead of justice or holding someone responsible for their actions. Lawyers are supposed to represent a client to ensure a FAIR trial, not to get them off, and out of taking responsibility for their actions. Our legal system is broken in many ways, and many reasons.
In Michigan we joke that speed limits are more of a suggestion, but if you're 10 over, it's going to cost a couple hundred and some points on your license when they catch you. 30 over is reckless driving and about half the points you're allowed to have alone. The bigger problem is you might be staying someplace different for a couple days until they get bond sorted out, but you'll get credit for those days if the judge gives you any more jail time.
I’d say it’s similar in Texas, except it’s common to cruise 20 over the posted limit & there’s not enough cops along 35 for the size of the population & bad drivers.
@@MakaylaChildress This is not just Texas but for all congested urban highways. The police or HP don't like making traffic stops along crowded interstates. Unless the traffic is moving 7 mph, the squad car and driver are very high risk trying to get back on road without causing a crash. Same for the vehicle that was stopped. I know in TX the state troopers work the less congested highways outside the crowded urban sections.
@@CrazyBear65 yes even in Canada, too many people feel they can drive the way they want, not the way they should, that's why there are traffic laws, they where created because of the stupid actions of our ancestors, but we as a whole just keep expanding on those mistakes.
Ppl that do not live here have a hard time. Defense driving in Texas is key. You have too. You never know when you’re going to encounter cows or horses on the parts of the highway that are not near town. Then in town you have beds and other large objects coming off of pick ups. My favorite was the load of 200 square bales on a flat bed trailer that was not tied down and fell all over the highway. Thepple that took drivers education in school are better then latter generation.
Texas has some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. I have been to all 50 states and 35 nations. An uninsured woman in a Mercedes totalled my car and trailer, rolled my truck four times, and the police never checked her sobriety and drove her home. She never braked and hit me from behind going over 80 mph.
And what exactly does that do? People still drive on suspended licenses, without insurance and they are not paying attention to signals, stop signs or people walking!
@@laurabrackeen3051 TRUE THAT. BORN IN TEXAS AND HAVE LIVED MOST OF MY LIFE IN TEXAS. DFW DRIVERS ARE THE WORST. RETIRING IN SIX MONTHS SO I WILL BE LEAVING. 🙂
The lady who ran out of gas should be ticketed for negligence. Running out of gas is not a break down. If she knew she was low on gas an ran out on the interstate, nothing good comes from that. Insurance company won’t take that in her favor
I live close to Basswood & IH35W in Fort Worth, Tx. It becomes a parking lot on a daily basis due to very heavy traffic and accidents. I arrived in Fort Worth in 1968 when the population was 300,000...Now it's over a million and growing more everyday.
I've been living along IH 35 for 35 years, it's a madhouse! Absolutely no speed enforcement by the highway patrol, but the highway patrol have been diverted to the southern border to do work they shouldn't have to be doing!
Texas is not the 2nd highest state for gun violence. Mississippi was the state with the highest gun violence rate per 100,000 residents in the United States, at 29.7 percent, followed by Louisiana, at 28.2 percent.
Reading comprehension isn’t your forte, he didn’t say anything about rates but he did mention gun deaths totaled per state. Maybe if Texans could read the signs they’d understand the speed limits?
@anabolicspud ok bud. Also yeah probably has high gun deaths because we’re a huge state. This whole video was just trying to make Texas look as bad as possible for views. TeXaNs CaNt ReAd stfu nerd
They didn't use the rates. Its a common spin tactic for representing data in a way that makes it say what you want it to say. We learned it in analytics class in school. Of course a state with a a lot of people is going to have a lot of people committing crime.
I live right off basswood at I35. It’s a nightmare. And no one bothers to enforce speeding. I also witness drivers receive warnings in school zones. Because I’m a crossing guard I hear them leave with a warning. So yes. It’s true.
Cannot believe a dozen people are killed on I-35 every day! but there IS CONSTANT construction on that freeway, leading to confusion and mistakes in driving. This video is all hype.
Type: drivers killed on texas highway per day on Google. It's down to 10 in 2024 ,but it was 12 per day a few years ago. So no, this video is not hyped
Please excuse the rudeness of the little 11year old who replied. To be frank, I have lived in Texas for close to 30 years and can tell you that much of what was stated here was not true. Sensationalism at another level. There are real punishment and fines for speeding and reckless driving. YES, the speed limit is regularly exceeded but things like the car races, biker groups and the complacency of that single police officer are exceptions. NOT the rule. I now understand why other countries have such a distorted view of the USA if this is the kind of documentary they are consistently recieving. So to correct a few things, 1) There are no requirements for warnings. An officer may isue a citation on your first offense if he so chooses and usually will. Fines for speeding average about $200 up to 15mph over. More than 20mph over becomes criminal speeding and usually results in an arrest and time in jail, along with an up to $1000 fine and a suspended license. The producers of this film focused on an officer who may have wanted to show that the violence often reported is not necessarily true. Interactions between cops and civilians almost never end up with guns drawn. Rather they are cordial and usually quick. 2) The legal driving age in Texas is 16. Too young in my opinion. As a result you have many young people who feel as if they own the world doing stupid things on our roads. Combine that with thier 100% confidence that they KNOW how to drive, when most don't even know what a standard transmission is or how to parallel park, and you have a recipe for disaster. 3) The weather mos definitely can play a role. Texas residence are ignorant of cold weather conditions since we live in a subtropical/borderline desert climate. When roads freeze up, all bets are off and for the most part mostly everything shuts down till conditions improve. All that said , Yes Texas roads are prone to bad accisents. We are a state affected by drvers from Louisianna (worst driving state in the nation) and many undocumented and un licensed drivers from mexico who bring thier driving culrures and practices here with them. Here is more info on speeding from a San Antonio Law group if you are interested. austinhageelaw.com/legal-blog/speeding-ticket-in-texas/#:~:text=Criminal%20speeding%20in%20Texas%20occurs,85%20mph%20on%20any%20roadway.
@b00yahh I'm 48. Sure, I knew Texas wasn't the mental ward the creators of this video wanted it to look like. It's pretty f'ed up though, compared to similar societies in Europe.
There was a time in my life when I couldn't stand police due to my encounters with many of my local power-hungry young officers, but I have grown up since then and I appreciate each and every one of my brothers and sisters in blue and what they all deal with to protect us. Please remember that you all have a dangerous job, and you HAVE to look out for yourselves out there. I would always take time out of my day to thank a police officer out of respect, but there are many others who aren't inclined to do the same.
Texas had a point system called the Driver Responsibility Program or DRP from 2003 until 2019, when it was repealed. The state no longer uses a point system, but traffic violations will still be added to your driving record and tracked
this is why i don’t drive any time past 2am and why i’m hesitant to go at green lights. also the officer themselves make the choice on whether or not to give citations… also rubbernecking is one of the causes of congestion 🙃
I always look both ways when the light turns green. Just because it turns green, doesn't mean it's safe to go. You're supposed to make sure the intersection is clear and safe to proceed.
Hi there guys I am a Ex volunteer rescue squad member for 20years and seen some very bad crash and yes people drive to fast on the roads and a round crash too mate
I'm from Canada, very familiar with the 400 series Hwy's . Although I even avoid those where I can, driving in Texas is another level to me. High speed lots of signal less lane changes. It's another hwy I will avoid.
It's up to the cops unless they have a special thing in Ft Worth. But in other places along 35 you can get a ticket and definitely off 35. I had plenty of speeding tickets and had too points because we also have a point system. Luckily I moved to a different state and by the time I came back years later they had dropped off.
Anything over 25 in Texas is reckless driving too, and I’m shocked this bike cop was so lax. I’m more worried of being pulled over by one of them, because they usually are the most aggressive with tickets.
Yea, first time driving down the highway, its insane the amount of people speeding and swerving in-between traffics. People going 80mph in CONSTRUCTION ZONES with the limit of 60mph. It goes with ALL viehcles, including semis and oversize. Its terrifying. Not only that, our last trip to Fort Worth there was one accident in Southbound and coming back up north 3hrs later there was another accident.
The constant construction is the main cause of accidents on 35. I’m 52 years old and used 35 most everyday around DFW, San Antonio, Austin and the construction never ends!
I drive 35 everyday. I would say in part, construction can be a factor, but my daily commute doesn’t usually involve construction and yet excessive speeders and reckless drivers pollute the road.
Especially when they don’t put the right signs out or any signs at all. Left lane closed..not!! It’s actually the right lane and it’s ending in 10 feet 😒
@19:00 I went over 10 miles over a 35 speed limit and I still get a ticket. Also it was a well known speedtrap. That was 20 years ago. Seeing this policeman give a warning is confounded and bewilder???
About this time last year. I was coming to Houston from Dallas. I may have been 30 miles out of Dallas, just an ordinary weekday, all of a sudden I was passed by a black Camero, clearly at 100 or more, and had obviously picked up a complete train of 7 or 8 other cars Same speed. They never got stopped and I never saw them again.
This is INSANE!!! Warning after warning and he has the audacity to talk about the amount of car accidents on the daily and then saying “this warning will make them think twice “😮 In GA, if you go 22 over on a residential road = RECKLESS DRIVING, they’re taking you in and your car will be towed etc.
That motorcycle group would SEND ME over the edge. 1) I work night shift… you out here playing around , but it’s gonna make me late to work . NO. 2) one of my biggest fears when driving behind or nearby a motorcyclist is them falling off the bike and me accidentally hitting em or running them over. TRAUMATIZING. (For me and that person’s loved ones) 3) These motorcyclists out here in GA be tryna share MY fast lane (far left lane) with me, while I’m going 70+ mph. I heard the motorcycle, so I’m looking for it… JUMP SCARE, dude is in in my passenger seat !! IN-between me and the car next to - matching speeds 70+ while our eyes meet. I almost hit the dividing wall, tryna give him more space within MY LANE… No doubt, dude would have died if hadn’t. He lucky I had been testing out the “you’re on/over the line” beeping system in my car.
Very simple solution put speed cameras with $500 dollar fines on I-35 that will slow the traffic and death rate down and provide revenue for Texas highways to add more lanes. When the speed limit is 85mph in some places people will go over 100mph+
I may be an unfortunate exception, but the traffic cameras are terrible. I've had to go to courts all over the state on 3 separate occasions some years ago when I kept getting tickets in the mail with images attached that isn't me, or my car, or my license plate. Issue was some plate numbers can be mistaken for mine when viewed at some angles and the system mistakenly read the wrong number and tagged me. I've so far been able to get out of every one, but it seemed like it was never going to end for awhile. This has stopped since cameras have been coming down in the state recently. I dread having to deal with all that again.
As a 4th generation Texan that has lived 99% of my whole life in the Dallas metro area, distracted driving and driving too fast in poor or bad weather are two major issues here. The day that we had the ice issue and those 131 vehicles wreaked, thankfully I was allowed to work from home. I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve heard people from other parts of the country state that Texans don’t know how to drive on ice. They all eat their words after they themselves tried driving on ice and failed by either sliding so badly that is scared them to the point of not wanting to drive on ice here and ending up with a wrecked vehicle. People who are professional drivers that have driven their vehicles or rigs here during one of our ice storms can attest to the fact that the highways and surface roads are not safe to drive on. Rubber tires and ice, particularly black ice, will always be nearly impossible to navigate. As a writer, I can work from home when I need to, but I know not everyone can. I think only first responders or those that work in a hospital/doctor’s office should be allowed to drive in DFW area during icy or sleeting conditions. That would take a large number of vehicles off the roads and highways which should lower the accidents. Also, yes as a Texan we have the privilege to carry a concealed weapon, but you do have to go through a process to have a permit to carry a weapon. The problem is that criminals don’t follow the rules.
In texas you do not need a license to carry handgun on your self or in your vehicle open or concealed but if you carry open it must be in a holster it's called constitutional carry
As a former New Yorker living in Texas for almost 30 yrs i can attest that Texans do NOT know how to drive in icy conditions. Texans lack the necessary caution needed when those conditions are present. The videos of the pile up prove that with vehicles continuing to crash at full speed long after the initial accident. Other states who are used to icy conditions would have been prepared with things like road de-icing, proper snow tires and or chains and a generally more cautious way af driving. I have witnwssed Texans driving in icy weather and you guys act as if ice doesn't exist. Hence a 131 vehicle pile up. It's true that once on the ice, there is very little anyone can do but a little situational awareness may have gone a long way in that particular situation.
A Dallas local news channel has a TH-cam video up showing Dallas drivers doing over 100 mph on I-35. Americans have no training when it comes to driving. It's far too easy to get a driver's license, and far too easy to keep it even if you are a habitual drunk, road rager, or just a bad driver.
Never in my life have I experienced such an insane level of entitlement by other drivers until we moved to the houston area. I also mever see police giving traffic tickets so people know theyre going to get away with driving the wrong way, cutting people off, running people off the road. There is no law and order. Just entitlement and road rage.
This narrator is giving off way too much bad information on this episode.. we do have point systems and it is incredibly easy to lose your license.. do not take this video to believe what happens here
Texas had a point system called the Driver Responsibility Program or DRP from 2003 until 2019, when it was repealed. The state no longer uses a point system, but traffic violations will still be added to your driving record and tracked
Texas got rid of the point system 5 years ago, lol. The only person with bad information is you. I've never been to a state where police are so complacent, drivers are so bad, accidents are so common, and insurance is so high as a result.
Where did this narrator get his information? There is no for warnings before citation, it’s totally up to the Officer as to whether or not you get a citation on the spot or whether he’s nice and gives you just a warning, there’s certainly not four and then a citation. And if your speed is criminal meaning 15 to 20 mph over, they also have the discretion to arrest your speed and ass. 🤠
@@MakaylaChildress We are both incorrect. The statute says it's 20mph over is criminal speed while in Commercial or Residential areas; over 35 mph in a school zone, or going over 85 on any Texas highway is criminal speed.
i tell my son all the time that the 2 major contributors to an accident are people who are distracted, or impatient (driving while intoxicated is the 3rd)...this applies anywhere you drive...
Wtf does Australia have to do with Texas? Do you think people in Texas care about whatever you're talking about in Australia? I can assure you that they don't.
@@sharongoodsell9341 ...illegals driving illegally on our American roads, WITHOUT knowing English, without the ability to read ENGLISH road signs, NO legitimate drivers license, and NO responsible insurance carried! That is what has gone mad on our Texas roads, mate.
I truck drive from California to Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, all the way to Florida. Whenever a driver does something stupid 9 out of 10 it’s a Texas license plate. Why are Texas drivers so dumb? A soccer mom in a minivan with her kids passes me during a snow storm only to get in front of my semi going downhill and slows down while I’m hauling 20 tons. Why so dumb Texas???
Uhh? I live in Texas. And we definitely get speeding tickets. No warnings FIRST! Wth! Hell my son just got his license couple of years ago. Came home with a speeding ticket. No warning ever! Maybe in Dallas they get off with warnings but not down south in Comal/Bexar county
I live in Texas. The biggest reason for all the wrecks is DISCTRACTED DRIVERS. Everyday on freeways 35E 35W 635, 214, 183, 820, 30, 20 etc etc I see people staring at their damn cell phones when they should be driving. They drift over the lines, they drive way below the limit, they get so so close to the vehicle in front. Its so unresponsible.
And just think.. that huge pile up in Ft Worth could have been avoided if the county had just salted the roads like they were supposed to instead of being cheap asses...
They did. They treated the roads the appropriate amount for the predicted amount of potential ice. The issue was that the weather prediction was wrong and it was much more prone to ice buildup than they anticipated, thereby making the amount of treatment inadequate for the weather that actually occurred. This was one of the few times the government actually did the right thing, it just didn't work out.
@@Locke99GS yea sorry.. that's simply not true. I live in DFW and saw on the news in the days before this that this weather was coming... they just didn't take it seriously.
The most dangerous drivers in Texas are the ones that refuse to move to the right when they only go the speed limit. 90% of the accidents would be avoided if the LEFT LANE CAMPERS weren't so insanely entitled and refuse to move over. The LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY. If you want to drive the speed limit or below, move to the right folks... let the rest of us who know how to drive and don't loli-gag at the trees while we're driving get to where we are going. Be kind, stay to the right otherwise, you are the biggest part of the problem with Texas highways and interstates.
It is disgraceful. Even on my 30 mph neighborhood streets, there are vehicles doing interstate speeds regularly. People run stop signs around here like they don't exist. Burnouts are commonplace. Police don't care.
I watch as people do whatever they want to and they do it in front of the police. I hardly ever see a cop pull them over. I35 is a death trap and we are just outside of Temple. People are lawless when they get behind the wheel of a car and they care little about those around them. This is my observation, after living here for almost 4 years. People are nice until they are driving and then they become very dangerous.
@@Greymannn Absolutely agree. I haven't had a single negative encounter with anyone in TX in person but behind the wheel? It's like they are totally different people.
@@MakaylaChildress talking about never giving out speeding tickets and acting like the roads are just totally lawless. I’m from dfw and I have two speeding tickets, one for 81mph and the other for 79. Both in a 75 zone.
Texan to don’t appreciate you bad mouthing Texas,Our drivers and cops. Texans know how to drive. The fools that cross our state are the ones that have to deal with our roads. 35 the number one semi route. Our highway speed are high but we are not rude to other drivers moving over to let others pass. Being courteous is the key to safe drive.
Had to stop immediately about the misinformation in this video! First, Fort Worth pd does not represent the entire US lol let alone Texas so let's pause right there. FW isnt even the largest city in Texas thus it doesnt represent the US as a country. I knew this video was questionable when they straight up ignored Austin on the map. Next, there is a point system in Texas that will result in you losing your license if you accumulate too many in a certain amount of time. Also I've NEVER GOTTEN A WARNING for speeding but I'm not yt so that could be it but I doubt it! Like wtf is this narrator even talking about. Here's another thumbs down 👎🏿!
I lived in Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex for 7 years and the other 40 years in Austin, Texas. I have to make a few correction on the video. I35 going north to Dallas/Forthworth split into East I35 (Dallas) and West I35 (Fort Worth) later on to merge back to I35 again. The metroplex are high speed of course. The other place to worry about traffic accident is Austin, Texas where heavy congestion and traffic happen almost every 2 or 3 hours of the day. So if driver think driving fast is okay in Austin, think again. A brief history of Austin, Texas. The highway are built for 1990-2000. It's not built for today. The roads, especially in downtown are slim and narrow. It used to be a retirement home and so many elders and seniors drive on the road. With all these in mind, drive slow in central Texas. Put your cellar phone away.
The description is completely wrong...Interstate 35 goes through Dallas/Fort Worth down to Austin and San Antonio. Interstate 45 is what goes from Dallas to Houston.
Cattleman's in Fort Worth has the tastiest steak anywhere!! Been going there when I head south since 1959 when my father first brought me there. some of the problems of accident control in the USA are the areas targeted. For an instance, speeding is mentioned in this video many times, BUT speeding by itself causes no accidents. It can increase damage and death rates during an accident BUT it wasn't the speed which caused the accident. the driver made some other error. inattention, failure to monitor weather conditions, disregard of increasing traffic, or simply falling asleep at the wheel. Speeding is easy to monitor with outside tools, but driver fatigue, alcohol use, and inattention are not easily monitored from outside the vehicles. Equipment failure also contributes to many accidents, BUT rarely do police stop pleasure vehicles to check for defects. likewise police do not do the alcohol and sobriety check points as they once did very effectively in days past.
Speeding typically doesn’t get you much further or save time unless you’re doing a road trip, and even then, it may not save time. It’s best to plan accordingly and to not speed excessively - distracted or not.
The officer points out how many people are killed each year on the highway and he persists in not giving tickets ..,.. what a total moron. The department should be called to account,
Why would these cops give “WARNINGS” on these traffic stops when they should have clearly issued a ticket. Cops do issue tickets!! All this info is so incorrect
What a bunch of idiotic statements. It is a 100% guaranteed ticket in every place I have been that driving 25 or more over the limit is a guaranteed citation. And not a namby pamby $150 fine, more like starting at $260 and rising to somewhat larger fines of $600, and more.
NEWS FLASH LE! Issuing a WARNING for speeding WILL NOT deter speeding drivers. They will however LAUGH THEIR ASS OFF AT YOU FOR PRETENDING TO DO YOUR JOB!!!
I don't know where you got your information but as a life long Fort Worth resident I can tell you that we do not get four warnings before we get fines. It is actually rare that you will get a warning. I'm 60 years old and have been getting tickets since I was 16 so I do have experience with the process.
Yeah this is a bs channel full of incorrect information and laws in each State.
I think it depends on where you are, and who you get. Most cops here in Plano are complete assholes and seem to take pride in writing you as many citations as they can.
@@jfoster. Why complain that they are doing their job (with pride :-) LOL) I'm 76 years old, born in Texas. If you want to avoid tickets (and be safer, BTW), drive the speed limit or the prevailing speed of the lane you're in. I operate a safety-critical industrial lifting and rigging business; we release or reassign drivers who continue to be a safety risk. I desperately want to avoid being responsible for someone being hurt or killed because I didn't do MY job.
Yes, they may be from a country where the rules are quite strict, but this channel seems a bit tone-deaf in touting their moral high ground at the expense of truth and accuracy. I've never heard of a rule that someone gets 4 warnings before being cited. I think it would be accurate to say that most traffic police write more moving violations than warnings. My wife got a warning one time for going 28 mph in a 20 mph zone, driving into a subdivision (no homes in that segment). She told the cop she had been driving for 15 years and had never gotten a ticket. He checked the record and told her since he found that to be true, he would make an exception that is rare for him.
By the way, Interstate 35 is Dallas and Fort Worth through Austin and San Antonio, NOWHERE near Houston. Being accurate in your rhetoric and the factual details isn't that difficult if you value good reporting instead of hyperbole.
30 years old, have never received a speeding ticket and I be 15-20 over every day. Most Texas officers will let you go if you have a clean record n respectful. Unless it’s a state trooper, then you fucked
I live 20ish minutes west of Fort Worth. Moved here after getting out of the military back in 2012. I noticed driving got so much worse as the thousands and thousands of people moving in from California. I'm not saying it's only Californians, but the Dallas Fort Worth area has grown faster than they can build infrastructure.
this is so true - dallas native - been talking about this ever since
i’m from california but i was also in the military over at fort hood. got out a couple months back and resorted here in frisco with my family.
It’s not Californians southerners in general can’t drive , speed , overly aggressive, entitled, unskilled , driver
Especially up here in Lucas and Princeton. Only one lanes making traffic an almost all day thing. Got used to it but still sucks.
Noticed the same from NEW YOUR,NEW JERSEY ,AND OKLAHOMA
As a Dallas mailman, I've seen people just disregard stop signs and treat them as a yield. When power is out , people don't follow the flashing red rule to treat them as a stop sign. People just go when they want instead of getting in a rhythm. PEOPLE DON'T USE SIGNAL LIGHTS . If they do , it's 3 feet away from their turn or 2 seconds before they merge. People have something in their brain that makes them want to be first in traffic. They'll speed in front of you just to go slower than you . They side eye you when they're wrong. The list goes on
I live near Keller, in all my years I’ve never seen more road rage and blatant disregard for stop signs, I grew up all over Dallas, DeSoto and Duncanville, and only recall one time being targeted by someone road raging. Get over here thinking Fort Worth was slower paced… NO WAY! I actually hate it here, I’ve been here 5 years due to my husbands job but we are actively looking back in the Southwest Dallas Co. area again. Maybe Grand Prairie, or Mansfield. I like the diversity and easy going attitude, this place is heck!
i live in the ft worth area and it's pretty much the same here. I get into close calls on the DAILY because people are so unaware and selfish.
30 miles north of Dallas- Ft Worth, I-35 splits at Denton, TX into I-35 East to Dallas and I-35 West going through Ft Worth. Almost 90 miles south of Denton at Hillsboro, TX, I-35E and I-35W rejoin to continue as I-35.
Both are like driving in a NASCAR race.
Sounds like the Reuther (I-696) near Detroit

I live in Fort Worth and 35 is just never going to be a finished highway. They cannot go a single year it seems without having to "fix" something on the highway that was never messed up in the first place. And the amount of old highway lanes that are perfectly fine but just blocked by barricades exactly like at 1:45 are just astounding. Perfectly good road they won't let us drive on. Edit: it's also messed up how much of the highway is barricaded on both sides so there's not even an emergency shoulder lane a lot of the times for people to pull over to if something happens.
That is job security.
its a constant money stream thats why they are doing it
@@mattg8787makes sense.. they can put up a McDonald’s in a week, but take two years to patch a road
Leaving no shoulder is just a tragedy waiting to happen. I'll never understand it. TxDOT is notorious for it.
It is called " make work jobs". Thank the unions.
This accident of the ice in Fort Worth is the reason you close your business down in icy weather.
Some professions have no choice to drive or close. Drivers have a responsibility to drive according to conditions, but TXDot failed to salt that section of the highway - playing a major part and why that particular section was an ice rink in the first place.
If it's too icy, just stay home. If you have no choice, ice is perfectly safe to drive on if you know ice can be anywhere even if you can't see it, have good tires, drive no faster than 10 - 15mph, and avoid brake usage, other drivers, expressways and hills. We salt in Michigan, but salt is worthless if it's colder than 23F. All of those drivers assumed the conditions were appropriate for their speed and assumed wrong.
Could always just drive slowly and cautiously, you know, like the rest of the country does when it freezes. My fellow Texans are not smart enough to figure out the logistics on ice
Those were truckers ...they're never closed

I don't think he understands the difference between I-35 and SH-35
He said Dallas to San Antonio
My son’s car was just hit and totaled on 35E in Lewisville, Texas just last month! It’s “the worst” section of 35 in regards to pot holes, always under construction, reckless drivers, you name it! It’s horrible! But, he has to drive it to and from work. I say a prayer for him every day! 🙏
@jennifertaylor8938 Yeah, that section is the worst. Prayers for your son.
Correct. I45 does.
A week ago I was travelling from Texarkana to a little town east of San Antonio. I drove 2 hours out of my way just to avoid getting on I-35. Them I-35 drivers are nuts!
I-35 is not the worst road in Texas, contrary to popular beliefs. Do your proper research before releasing a report like this one.
Whoever this "reporter" is,he has his facts all kinds of wrong!!! Been an officer in TX for 26 years and know for a fact he's ever so slightly confused. Not to mention, every state in the US have their own traffic laws, it's not broad coverage nation wide 😂 PLEASE IGNORE ALL OF THE COMMENTATORS COMMENTS!!!
For real. This guy is driving me nuts
As a 28 year old who grew up in Texas, now lives in the midwest, and have gotten exactly two warnings in my life - both of which were for going way over the posted limit, his comments about speeding warnings being "unconventional" drove me nuts. The first time, I was 17 or 18, honest mistake in a new town. The last one, I was speeding from Iowa to South Dakota and was pushing my 300cc motorcycle as hard as it would go, especially through that clip in Nebraska that is just ugly hell to drive. Came barreling through a small town in SD which was moronic anyway. He clocked me in at 86 or something in a 60 or 65. I told him I had been riding all day and was just pushing my bike and apologized for the blatant stupidity of it all. Cop was very nice, gave me a warning. Now, I don't speed in South Dakota because my warning is way out the window now.
This is another case of a dude from a country the size of Idaho thinking his model of the world should fit globally. Incidentally, his country is in shambles, so he might want to pay closer attention to home because it's a wreck over there. Check out Birmingham, England for proof.
It's obvious he ain't from here. Hyway 20 from Dallas to Shreveport is the second most dangerous stretch, hyway 31 from Tyler to Kilgore is king of death , it's not called "bloody31 " for nothing

America's deadliest highways = roads that smartphone addicts have trouble with.
Dont forget DUI ;) over 11000 people a year die in the USA to drunk drivers, about 32% of crash fatalities involve drunk drivers. The nhtsa gov website also states that 1 person is killed every 39 mins in the use due to drunk driving crashes.
texas drivers also tend to drive fast and texas often has higher limits than other states. so when crashes do inevitably happen, there is more force behind them.
texas drivers as a whole are speeders they dont really slow down all that much at all
I live right next to I35 and COPS ARE NOT OUT HERE GETTING THESE CRAZY DRIVERS.
I live in dallas and this is so true 4:28, no enforcement of driving laws.... no complacement from the cops.... people drive however they want.... and I have literally got honked for doing a full stop at a stop sign 🤡
It's the wild west out here friend 😢 I've been honked, aggressively passed and flipped off by a pickup while I was going almost 70mph on a 65 speed limit zone.
I definitely don’t like driving in Dallas. It’s very stressful.
The lead biker should be in prison for leading kids to be so reckless on the highway making it dangerous for all other traffic. His open defiance of the police alone should get his license revoked for 10 years at least.
The noise where I live (just off I35 in North Fort Worth) is horrible on Friday and Saturday night, and it's been that way for years. The cops know but don't stop it.
This is for the guy speaking to the camera about bike life. It's is awesome that you want to give youths better opportunities than the drugs and gang shit, but doing it the way you are is only trading one bad influence for another one that's not a better path in life only a different one that is not only very dangerous, illegal, and not a positive impact in the community. Showing the youths in the group that it is ok to disregard the law by riding dirt bikes on the hiway which is illegal, due to them not having signals, headlights, or plates, and telling the cops to F off when they are trying to do a job, is not being a good role model.
I started riding dirt bikes at 5 years old. I have done some racing, and continued riding not only dirt bikes, but also street bikes, and still presently ride at the age of 55. Riding your dirt bike on the street is not only unnecessarily dangerous for the ride but also the rest of the community. They also have places to go and should not have to stop and be late cause you have no regard and think you own the street. If you go down and the car behind you can not stop, they have to live with that image of running over you and that's not right.
Be a better role model and take it to the dirt, not the street.
As a retired police officer from California, I can attest that CELLPHONES and speed are the two most prolific issues when driving. One day, while following a school bus through a community, the bus stopped and activated its red flashing lights and started to let kids out. As I watched from behind the bus, I saw a black Prius approaching from the opposite direction drive right past the bus that was unloading kids and as she past me, she had her nose buried in her phone. I turned around and conducted a traffic stop. After I asked her why she didn’t stop for the big yellow school bus with the flashing red lights, her first reply was “What school bus?” I told her to look in her mirror and she told me “I didn’t see it.” Needless to say she was cited for the offense. When I asked why she looking at her phone she told me that she was using the “Waze” app looking for a street. Until more stringent penalties are adopted, this problem WILL CONTINUE to cause crashes and unfortunately deaths. As for “no cops around”, you can thank the “defund the police” movement which has decimated many traffic divisions, patrol divisions, detective Bureaus, and many departments. Plus some police department leadership have become more “lenient” (for lack of a better term). Maybe things will finally turn around after January.
Agree, hyper-fund all LE. Enforce laws again.
You all don't make nearly enough for the work you do. God bless you sir.
I've been to southern CA a lot before 2020. Most of the time traffic was too heavy to attain the posted speed limit. One of the safe driving tips was violated 100% and that was spacing between yourself and the vehicle ahead. Every time I had 2 second gap it was only a matter of seconds before a CA driver would stuff themselves into the space. Eventually I gave up trying to get a 2 sec gap.
I-35 in Texas has been a heavy volume + high speed road for years. My first visit was to Austin and our rental car strained to keep up with 80-85 mph and 8 lanes wide in places. This was mid 1980's with 55 speed limit.
I live outside of Temple Tx and the police dont pull drivers over here very often. People do u turns in the middle of the road, cut people off, tailgate at 90 mph and this happens in front of leos who keep going as if nothing happened. There is no defund the police crap here, so that isnt the issue. Temple has more officers that I have seen in 40 years, but they drive almost as bad as everyone else.
Those are issues that I've witnessed plenty of cops violating the law by talking on their cell phone plus looking at their computer while driving!
About 10 years ago I worked at a plant and our facility was at a major intersection without a stop light, and I dealt with major wrecks there (a few fatal wrecks who killed a few friends of mine), but I pulled an 18 year old boy out of his car after he was T-boned by someone who wasn't paying attention. I pulled him out in the middle of winter in a snowstorm here near Pittsburgh, I covered him in my jacket, and yelled for people to call 911. Thanks be to God, he lived and recovered, but when I leaned in his car to shut off the engine there was less than 12" between his seat and the center console. I don't care if he knows who I am as I am no hero, it was just comforting to know that that kid made a full recovery. I also yanked a fellow truck driver out of his tractor after he wrecked from having a major heart attack. My friend and I got him out of the tractor and gave him CPR until the ambulance showed up. He had a quadruple bypass, but he's alive to this day. Once again, I'm no hero, just a man who has done his best to look out for others. I would hope that if I had been in the same situation someone would do the same for me.
God bless you for having the courage to act when the opportunity presented itself. I have also been fortunate to know how to act when it was necessary - I have faith enough in human nature to believe that if I had not been there , someone else would have stepped in to save those lives.
You are a good man. There aren't many if them anymore. I'm a disabled older woman and don't think I'd be much help with rescue, but I'll tell you, I would sit with the injured and keep them calm and warm until someone like you can help me and lift them to safety. Thanks for all you do.

I'm terrified of driving on 635 above all freeways. I drive the long route to my destination to avoid getting on that freeway. 😟
635 is Mad Max style driving. 🫣
The problem falls on the ease for a toddler to get a license. No one in DFW knows how to drive, 635 is a nightmare with people driving from 45mph to 90mph. People driving slow in the fast lane and causing accidents when changing lanes not looking or using their blinkers to inform others of their intentions.

I 100% agree with this video having lived in many different countries and different US states, speaking from experience the worst drivers in the developed world are definitely in Dallas, Houston Texas and Miami, Orlando Florida you literally take your life in your hands everyday! Houston and Dallas have the most dangerous drivers combined with unintuitive highways in the US, I know people who have died been crippled and lost their legs been paralyzed in car accidents on Dallas’s highways, I-35 San Antonio, Austin, Dallas is the worst with tail gating at over 100+ mph over taking in the slow lane and excessive speeds of 100+ mph, people really don’t give a F**k about other drivers in Texas or Florida, COPS need to do more to curb dangerous driving! They can’t drive here or are deliberately inconsiderate unlike in Germany where people are skilled at high speed driving and only use the outside lane for passing
Very true. But it's not only the cops. The damn lawyers and the judges are also to blame. Judges are to easy, DA's agree to plea deals in order to get a conviction instead of justice or holding someone responsible for their actions.
Lawyers are supposed to represent a client to ensure a FAIR trial, not to get them off, and out of taking responsibility for their actions. Our legal system is broken in many ways, and many reasons.
In Michigan we joke that speed limits are more of a suggestion, but if you're 10 over, it's going to cost a couple hundred and some points on your license when they catch you. 30 over is reckless driving and about half the points you're allowed to have alone. The bigger problem is you might be staying someplace different for a couple days until they get bond sorted out, but you'll get credit for those days if the judge gives you any more jail time.
I’d say it’s similar in Texas, except it’s common to cruise 20 over the posted limit & there’s not enough cops along 35 for the size of the population & bad drivers.
20 over in Texas is reckless. Plus most traffic infractions are an arrest-able offense. Not like it gets enforced though.
@@MakaylaChildress This is not just Texas but for all congested urban highways. The police or HP don't like making traffic stops along crowded interstates. Unless the traffic is moving 7 mph, the squad car and driver are very high risk trying to get back on road without causing a crash. Same for the vehicle that was stopped. I know in TX the state troopers work the less congested highways outside the crowded urban sections.

Ppl that do not live here have a hard time. Defense driving in Texas is key. You have too. You never know when you’re going to encounter cows or horses on the parts of the highway that are not near town. Then in town you have beds and other large objects coming off of pick ups. My favorite was the load of 200 square bales on a flat bed trailer that was not tied down and fell all over the highway.

Lived in FW area for 10 years. Drivers are worse than Chicago. Speed limits are too high, and people always exceed those.
And since they added the express toll lanes the freeways are totally inadequate in Ft. Worth.

You can ONLY blame the drivers for being morons, NOT the speed limits...
That’s how we do it. We have much farther distances to travel so get used to it or don’t drive on the freeway.
Instead of texting while driving, keep your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the road, and your car out of the left lane.
Texas has some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. I have been to all 50 states and 35 nations. An uninsured woman in a Mercedes totalled my car and trailer, rolled my truck four times, and the police never checked her sobriety and drove her home. She never braked and hit me from behind going over 80 mph.
I moved here from NY... I agree
It’s pretty awful. I’ve only been to about 15 states but the combination of badly engineered/planned roads and unskilled drivers is lethal.
They need to start REVOKING licenses, upping the FINES and REQUIRING driving classes or driving schools for people.
And what exactly does that do? People still drive on suspended licenses, without insurance and they are not paying attention to signals, stop signs or people walking!

Texas is not the 2nd highest state for gun violence. Mississippi was the state with the highest gun violence rate per 100,000 residents in the United States, at 29.7 percent, followed by Louisiana, at 28.2 percent.
Reading comprehension isn’t your forte, he didn’t say anything about rates but he did mention gun deaths totaled per state. Maybe if Texans could read the signs they’d understand the speed limits?
@anabolicspud ok bud. Also yeah probably has high gun deaths because we’re a huge state. This whole video was just trying to make Texas look as bad as possible for views. TeXaNs CaNt ReAd stfu nerd
Who cares! Your point? Where did you pull these gun stats from? Your anus?😂
They didn't use the rates. Its a common spin tactic for representing data in a way that makes it say what you want it to say. We learned it in analytics class in school. Of course a state with a a lot of people is going to have a lot of people committing crime.
I lived in DFW for 15 years. The roads and freeways are a free-for-all. Such is Texas.
I live right off basswood at I35. It’s a nightmare. And no one bothers to enforce speeding. I also witness drivers receive warnings in school zones. Because I’m a crossing guard I hear them leave with a warning. So yes. It’s true.
3:15 I hope his mom sees this
Cannot believe a dozen people are killed on I-35 every day! but there IS CONSTANT construction on that freeway, leading to confusion and mistakes in driving. This video is all hype.
Type: drivers killed on texas highway per day on Google.
It's down to 10 in 2024 ,but it was 12 per day a few years ago. So no, this video is not hyped
21 mph over is more than 30 km/h. In a street like that you would lose the license for at least 3 month and a hefty fine in Europe.
No one here cares about laws in Europe.
Please excuse the rudeness of the little 11year old who replied. To be frank, I have lived in Texas for close to 30 years and can tell you that much of what was stated here was not true. Sensationalism at another level. There are real punishment and fines for speeding and reckless driving. YES, the speed limit is regularly exceeded but things like the car races, biker groups and the complacency of that single police officer are exceptions. NOT the rule. I now understand why other countries have such a distorted view of the USA if this is the kind of documentary they are consistently recieving.
So to correct a few things, 1) There are no requirements for warnings. An officer may isue a citation on your first offense if he so chooses and usually will. Fines for speeding average about $200 up to 15mph over. More than 20mph over becomes criminal speeding and usually results in an arrest and time in jail, along with an up to $1000 fine and a suspended license. The producers of this film focused on an officer who may have wanted to show that the violence often reported is not necessarily true. Interactions between cops and civilians almost never end up with guns drawn. Rather they are cordial and usually quick. 2) The legal driving age in Texas is 16. Too young in my opinion. As a result you have many young people who feel as if they own the world doing stupid things on our roads. Combine that with thier 100% confidence that they KNOW how to drive, when most don't even know what a standard transmission is or how to parallel park, and you have a recipe for disaster. 3) The weather mos definitely can play a role. Texas residence are ignorant of cold weather conditions since we live in a subtropical/borderline desert climate. When roads freeze up, all bets are off and for the most part mostly everything shuts down till conditions improve.
All that said , Yes Texas roads are prone to bad accisents. We are a state affected by drvers from Louisianna (worst driving state in the nation) and many undocumented and un licensed drivers from mexico who bring thier driving culrures and practices here with them. Here is more info on speeding from a San Antonio Law group if you are interested.

@b00yahh I'm 48. Sure, I knew Texas wasn't the mental ward the creators of this video wanted it to look like. It's pretty f'ed up though, compared to similar societies in Europe.
There was a time in my life when I couldn't stand police due to my encounters with many of my local power-hungry young officers, but I have grown up since then and I appreciate each and every one of my brothers and sisters in blue and what they all deal with to protect us. Please remember that you all have a dangerous job, and you HAVE to look out for yourselves out there. I would always take time out of my day to thank a police officer out of respect, but there are many others who aren't inclined to do the same.
Facts!! Well said brother I agree.
I live in Texas... you will most definitely get a $250 ticket and points do go on your record. This is BS
After 4 warnings? You sound a bit silly!
@@lidopina4334nope first and second time i ever got pulled over i got tickets both times, in Texas. YOU sound a bit silly
@lidopina4334 so do you.
Texas had a point system called the Driver Responsibility Program or DRP from 2003 until 2019, when it was repealed. The state no longer uses a point system, but traffic violations will still be added to your driving record and tracked
If you’re caught. The amount of cops patrolling isn’t keeping up with the population growth & amount of bad drivers.
this is why i don’t drive any time past 2am and why i’m hesitant to go at green lights.
also the officer themselves make the choice on whether or not to give citations… also rubbernecking is one of the causes of congestion 🙃
I always look both ways when the light turns green. Just because it turns green, doesn't mean it's safe to go. You're supposed to make sure the intersection is clear and safe to proceed.
A couple of years ago, black ice caused over 100 vehicles to crash. I avoid this freeway by going the side roads.
Hi there guys I am a Ex volunteer rescue squad member for 20years and seen some very bad crash and yes people drive to fast on the roads and a round crash too mate
Thank you for your service and sacrifices 💯 God bless you and your y🤲 and your teammate's 🙌
I'm from Canada, very familiar with the 400 series Hwy's . Although I even avoid those where I can, driving in Texas is another level to me. High speed lots of signal less lane changes. It's another hwy I will avoid.
87 in a 55 up here in Maryland that’s a reckless driving ticket + you might go to jail …. No repercussions just a warning is 🤦🏽
It's up to the cops unless they have a special thing in Ft Worth. But in other places along 35 you can get a ticket and definitely off 35. I had plenty of speeding tickets and had too points because we also have a point system. Luckily I moved to a different state and by the time I came back years later they had dropped off.
Anything over 25 in Texas is reckless driving too, and I’m shocked this bike cop was so lax. I’m more worried of being pulled over by one of them, because they usually are the most aggressive with tickets.
Yea, first time driving down the highway, its insane the amount of people speeding and swerving in-between traffics. People going 80mph in CONSTRUCTION ZONES with the limit of 60mph. It goes with ALL viehcles, including semis and oversize. Its terrifying. Not only that, our last trip to Fort Worth there was one accident in Southbound and coming back up north 3hrs later there was another accident.
The constant construction is the main cause of accidents on 35. I’m 52 years old and used 35 most everyday around DFW, San Antonio, Austin and the construction never ends!
the constant construction will end if they turn off the tap to bank it happens a lot with the democrat city's
I drive 35 everyday. I would say in part, construction can be a factor, but my daily commute doesn’t usually involve construction and yet excessive speeders and reckless drivers pollute the road.
Especially when they don’t put the right signs out or any signs at all. Left lane closed..not!! It’s actually the right lane and it’s ending in 10 feet 😒
@19:00 I went over 10 miles over a 35 speed limit and I still get a ticket. Also it was a well known speedtrap. That was 20 years ago. Seeing this policeman give a warning is confounded and bewilder???
About this time last year. I was coming to Houston from Dallas. I may have been 30 miles out of Dallas, just an ordinary weekday, all of a sudden I was passed by a black Camero, clearly at 100 or more, and had obviously picked up a complete train of 7 or 8 other cars Same speed. They never got stopped and I never saw them again.
The sheriff's family......
In Fort Worth it’s like they make the highways so people will die. Lanes merging without warning, etc….

Warning after warning and he has the audacity to talk about the amount of car accidents on the daily and then saying “this warning will make them think twice “😮
In GA, if you go 22 over on a residential road = RECKLESS DRIVING, they’re taking you in and your car will be towed etc.
This video is bullshit it is rare that you get warnings here in Texas and 20 over
=jail
It is up to the cop. That cop clearly was lazy, or hamming up how nice he was for the camera, or something.
Too many people merging on to I-35 North and South especially in the Dallas area needs to be fixed
That motorcycle group would SEND ME over the edge.
1) I work night shift… you out here playing around , but it’s gonna make me late to work . NO.
2) one of my biggest fears when driving behind or nearby a motorcyclist is them falling off the bike and me accidentally hitting em or running them over. TRAUMATIZING. (For me and that person’s loved ones)
3) These motorcyclists out here in GA be tryna share MY fast lane (far left lane) with me, while I’m going 70+ mph. I heard the motorcycle, so I’m looking for it… JUMP SCARE, dude is in in my passenger seat !! IN-between me and the car next to - matching speeds 70+ while our eyes meet. I almost hit the dividing wall, tryna give him more space within MY LANE… No doubt, dude would have died if hadn’t. He lucky I had been testing out the “you’re on/over the line” beeping system in my car.
Very simple solution put speed cameras with $500 dollar fines on I-35 that will slow the traffic and death rate down and provide revenue for Texas highways to add more lanes. When the speed limit is 85mph in some places people will go over 100mph+
I may be an unfortunate exception, but the traffic cameras are terrible. I've had to go to courts all over the state on 3 separate occasions some years ago when I kept getting tickets in the mail with images attached that isn't me, or my car, or my license plate. Issue was some plate numbers can be mistaken for mine when viewed at some angles and the system mistakenly read the wrong number and tagged me. I've so far been able to get out of every one, but it seemed like it was never going to end for awhile. This has stopped since cameras have been coming down in the state recently. I dread having to deal with all that again.
Poor driving skill, lack of consequences, and poorly designed and maintained roads makes driving in TX a nightmare.
As a 4th generation Texan that has lived 99% of my whole life in the Dallas metro area, distracted driving and driving too fast in poor or bad weather are two major issues here. The day that we had the ice issue and those 131 vehicles wreaked, thankfully I was allowed to work from home. I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve heard people from other parts of the country state that Texans don’t know how to drive on ice. They all eat their words after they themselves tried driving on ice and failed by either sliding so badly that is scared them to the point of not wanting to drive on ice here and ending up with a wrecked vehicle. People who are professional drivers that have driven their vehicles or rigs here during one of our ice storms can attest to the fact that the highways and surface roads are not safe to drive on. Rubber tires and ice, particularly black ice, will always be nearly impossible to navigate. As a writer, I can work from home when I need to, but I know not everyone can. I think only first responders or those that work in a hospital/doctor’s office should be allowed to drive in DFW area during icy or sleeting conditions. That would take a large number of vehicles off the roads and highways which should lower the accidents.
Also, yes as a Texan we have the privilege to carry a concealed weapon, but you do have to go through a process to have a permit to carry a weapon. The problem is that criminals don’t follow the rules.
In texas you do not need a license to carry handgun on your self or in your vehicle open or concealed but if you carry open it must be in a holster it's called constitutional carry
As a former New Yorker living in Texas for almost 30 yrs i can attest that Texans do NOT know how to drive in icy conditions. Texans lack the necessary caution needed when those conditions are present. The videos of the pile up prove that with vehicles continuing to crash at full speed long after the initial accident. Other states who are used to icy conditions would have been prepared with things like road de-icing, proper snow tires and or chains and a generally more cautious way af driving. I have witnwssed Texans driving in icy weather and you guys act as if ice doesn't exist. Hence a 131 vehicle pile up. It's true that once on the ice, there is very little anyone can do but a little situational awareness may have gone a long way in that particular situation.
A Dallas local news channel has a TH-cam video up showing Dallas drivers doing over 100 mph on I-35.
Americans have no training when it comes to driving. It's far too easy to get a driver's license, and far too easy to keep it even if you are a habitual drunk, road rager, or just a bad driver.
Those aren't accidents, they're felonies. Disregard for the law.
Never in my life have I experienced such an insane level of entitlement by other drivers until we moved to the houston area. I also mever see police giving traffic tickets so people know theyre going to get away with driving the wrong way, cutting people off, running people off the road. There is no law and order. Just entitlement and road rage.
This narrator is giving off way too much bad information on this episode.. we do have point systems and it is incredibly easy to lose your license.. do not take this video to believe what happens here

Gotta be caught. The amount of cops patrolling isn’t keeping up with the population growth & amount of bad drivers.
Texas got rid of the point system 5 years ago, lol. The only person with bad information is you. I've never been to a state where police are so complacent, drivers are so bad, accidents are so common, and insurance is so high as a result.
I've lived in quite a few states and Texas has the most unskilled drivers out of all of them!

Where did this narrator get his information? There is no for warnings before citation, it’s totally up to the Officer as to whether or not you get a citation on the spot or whether he’s nice and gives you just a warning, there’s certainly not four and then a citation. And if your speed is criminal meaning 15 to 20 mph over, they also have the discretion to arrest your speed and ass. 🤠
A foreigner, with a false perception and narrative, for sure!
In Texas, 25 over is reckless, not 15-20.
@@MakaylaChildress We are both incorrect. The statute says it's 20mph over is criminal speed while in Commercial or Residential areas; over 35 mph in a school zone, or going over 85 on any Texas highway is criminal speed.
Narrator pulled his information right out of his ass.
Speed alone isn't an issue. it's the fact that so many people are distracted or just lacking the common sense to drive a car.
i tell my son all the time that the 2 major contributors to an accident are people who are distracted, or impatient (driving while intoxicated is the 3rd)...this applies anywhere you drive...

Uhh? I live in Texas. And we definitely get speeding tickets. No warnings FIRST! Wth! Hell my son just got his license couple of years ago. Came home with a speeding ticket. No warning ever! Maybe in Dallas they get off with warnings but not down south in Comal/Bexar county
There are 2 parts I35 West and I35 East, both of which are always under construction.
4 warnings before getting a fine?
Gee, i cant figure out why so many deaths....
That's A LOAD OF CRAP.SORRY
@@amystaggs5303 Sorry, You sound a bit silly!
I live in Texas. The biggest reason for all the wrecks is DISCTRACTED DRIVERS. Everyday on freeways 35E 35W 635, 214, 183, 820, 30, 20 etc etc I see people staring at their damn cell phones when they should be driving. They drift over the lines, they drive way below the limit, they get so so close to the vehicle in front. Its so unresponsible.
All drivers should have an I.Q. larger than there shoe seize or no licence and banned from buying or renting a vehicle.
Agreed!!
Y'all be careful out there, it's pretty wild here in Texas!!! I-45 is worse in Houston also goes to DFW too.
And just think.. that huge pile up in Ft Worth could have been avoided if the county had just salted the roads like they were supposed to instead of being cheap asses...
They did. They treated the roads the appropriate amount for the predicted amount of potential ice. The issue was that the weather prediction was wrong and it was much more prone to ice buildup than they anticipated, thereby making the amount of treatment inadequate for the weather that actually occurred. This was one of the few times the government actually did the right thing, it just didn't work out.
@@Locke99GS yea sorry.. that's simply not true. I live in DFW and saw on the news in the days before this that this weather was coming... they just didn't take it seriously.
@@worksonit1 Yeah, they knew weather was coming, that's why they prepared accordingly. But then it came harder than predicted.
The most dangerous drivers in Texas are the ones that refuse to move to the right when they only go the speed limit. 90% of the accidents would be avoided if the LEFT LANE CAMPERS weren't so insanely entitled and refuse to move over. The LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY. If you want to drive the speed limit or below, move to the right folks... let the rest of us who know how to drive and don't loli-gag at the trees while we're driving get to where we are going. Be kind, stay to the right otherwise, you are the biggest part of the problem with Texas highways and interstates.
Texas drivers are always in such a hurry. They treat stoplights as drag strips and they wait until the very last possible moment to overtake you.
It is disgraceful. Even on my 30 mph neighborhood streets, there are vehicles doing interstate speeds regularly. People run stop signs around here like they don't exist. Burnouts are commonplace. Police don't care.
I watch as people do whatever they want to and they do it in front of the police. I hardly ever see a cop pull them over. I35 is a death trap and we are just outside of Temple. People are lawless when they get behind the wheel of a car and they care little about those around them. This is my observation, after living here for almost 4 years. People are nice until they are driving and then they become very dangerous.
Aren't many native Texans left! Most are now transplants from CA, NY, Illinois ..
@@Greymannn Absolutely agree. I haven't had a single negative encounter with anyone in TX in person but behind the wheel? It's like they are totally different people.

You're in fort Worth not Dallas on this video
Had to stop immediately about the misinformation in this video! First, Fort Worth pd does not represent the entire US lol let alone Texas so let's pause right there. FW isnt even the largest city in Texas thus it doesnt represent the US as a country. I knew this video was questionable when they straight up ignored Austin on the map.
Next, there is a point system in Texas that will result in you losing your license if you accumulate too many in a certain amount of time. Also I've NEVER GOTTEN A WARNING for speeding but I'm not yt so that could be it but I doubt it! Like wtf is this narrator even talking about. Here's another thumbs down 👎🏿!
Did you not immediately question the narrators accent? Definately not American.
@julesmisty doesnt mean he couldn't have a google!
I lived in Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex for 7 years and the other 40 years in Austin, Texas. I have to make a few correction on the video. I35 going north to Dallas/Forthworth split into East I35 (Dallas) and West I35 (Fort Worth) later on to merge back to I35 again. The metroplex are high speed of course.
The other place to worry about traffic accident is Austin, Texas where heavy congestion and traffic happen almost every 2 or 3 hours of the day. So if driver think driving fast is okay in Austin, think again.
A brief history of Austin, Texas. The highway are built for 1990-2000. It's not built for today. The roads, especially in downtown are slim and narrow. It used to be a retirement home and so many elders and seniors drive on the road. With all these in mind, drive slow in central Texas. Put your cellar phone away.
This dude sure as hell didn't make it down 35 to Waco/Hewitt Tx. You'll get a ticket for 4-5mi. over speed limit.
The description is completely wrong...Interstate 35 goes through Dallas/Fort Worth down to Austin and San Antonio. Interstate 45 is what goes from Dallas to Houston.
Cattleman's in Fort Worth has the tastiest steak anywhere!! Been going there when I head south since 1959 when my father first brought me there.
some of the problems of accident control in the USA are the areas targeted. For an instance, speeding is mentioned in this video many times, BUT speeding by itself causes no accidents. It can increase damage and death rates during an accident BUT it wasn't the speed which caused the accident. the driver made some other error. inattention, failure to monitor weather conditions, disregard of increasing traffic, or simply falling asleep at the wheel. Speeding is easy to monitor with outside tools, but driver fatigue, alcohol use, and inattention are not easily monitored from outside the vehicles. Equipment failure also contributes to many accidents, BUT rarely do police stop pleasure vehicles to check for defects. likewise police do not do the alcohol and sobriety check points as they once did very effectively in days past.
Well, they're dead, and they were speeding.
Speeding typically doesn’t get you much further or save time unless you’re doing a road trip, and even then, it may not save time. It’s best to plan accordingly and to not speed excessively - distracted or not.
@@MakaylaChildress Definitely a city-folks comment.

Why would these cops give “WARNINGS” on these traffic stops when they should have clearly issued a ticket. Cops do issue tickets!! All this info is so incorrect
What a bunch of idiotic statements. It is a 100% guaranteed ticket in every place I have been that driving 25 or more over the limit is a guaranteed citation. And not a namby pamby $150 fine, more like starting at $260 and rising to somewhat larger fines of $600, and more.
It’s up to the officer’s discretion. 25 over usually is a jail sentence, but I’ve seen plenty let go.
"Here's a warning, don't do it again or I might have to warn you again."
