In North Texas and across the state the semi truck accident rate is much higher than almost anywhere else. While a lot of this has to do with our state being a major trucking route, it also indicates a high rate of dangerous trucker driving behaviors. Some of the more common ways that a truck driver can cause a collision include:

  • Driver distraction

  • Drug or alcohol use

  • Drowsy driving

  • Aggressive driving

  • Speeding

  • Driving too fast for conditions

While any one of these factors can increase the chances of an 18-wheeler accident, most drivers are guilty of multiple dangerous driving behaviors. For example, a driver who is tired is more likely to use stimulants to try and stay awake, speed to get to a rest area and drive aggressively. When drivers get locked into a dangerous cycle such as this, it is really only a matter of time until they cause a serious truck accident.
