TRAFFIC RULES
Everyday Texas driving rules to review
Official Texas law and the current Driver Handbook are the final authority.
KEY POINTS
A practical framework
This educational guide is general information. Always follow current law, official instructions, posted signs, and the direction of authorized officials.
Right-of-way
Understand who should yield at intersections, turns, crosswalks, and merging points.
Speed
Follow posted limits and reduce speed when conditions make the limit unsafe.
Signals
Communicate turns and lane changes early enough for others to respond.
Seat belts and restraints
Use required occupant restraints and appropriate child safety systems.
Distracted driving
Keep attention on driving and follow current restrictions on device use.
Practice with feedback
Reading helps you understand a skill, but safe driving requires supervised practice, repetition, and correction in real conditions.
