Usually, when I write about driving statistics in Texas, it’s all negative. Finally, we have some positive news about driving in the Lone Star State. And by positive news, I mean the best possible news.
Let’s go ahead and address the elephant in the room. Texas regularly shows up on lists of the most dangerous states to drive in. In fact, just last week I wrote a piece about how Texas was found to be the second-most dangerous state for drivers during the month of October.

Corpus Christi: The Nation’s Best City for Drivers
The good news is that while the drivers here aren’t the safest, at least the roads are. According to a study by WalletHub, Corpus Christi is the best city for drivers in the entire country. Corpus ranked very well in the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance and traffic, and infrastructure.
Other Texas Cities Making the Top 10
Corpus Christi wasn’t the only Texas city that fared well in the study. Laredo, Lubbock, Plano, and Austin were all ranked among the 10 best cities for drivers. I have to admit to being surprised Austin made the top 10. Don’t get me wrong – I love visiting our state capital, but absolutely dread driving there.
So, the next time you’re stuck in traffic, cursing the drivers around you under your breath, remember it could be much worse. You could live in Philadelphia, the city ranked worst for drivers.
