CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — TxDOT and Texas law enforcement agencies have launched a statewide anti-speeding campaign called "Drive Like a Texan: Kind. Courteous. Safe."
In Corpus Christi alone, there were just over 2,000 speeding-related accidents. 12 of those accidents involved fatalities, and 45 resulted in serious injuries.
The campaign encourages drivers to:
- Match their speed to traffic, weather and road conditions
- Increase following distance when traffic is heavy or roads are slick
- Watch the speed limit and be aware of school zones and road work sites
Drivers caught speeding through a school zone or construction zone face doubled traffic fines.
