What is the tolerance for driving above the speed limit?

At Poparide, safety is our top priority. We ask all drivers to respect the posted speed limit to ensure the safety of everyone in your car and on the road. Studies show that driving faster increases your risk of causing an accident. The extra risk just isn't worth it!

When driving from College Station to Houston (100 miles), going 75 mph instead of 65 mph only saves about 12 minutes but increases risk and discomfort for passengers. Speeding doesn't significantly decrease travel time but does increase the danger.

Winter driving considerations

In winter, ice and occasional snow can occur on Texas highways, especially in North Texas and the Panhandle. We strongly recommend reducing your speed by 10-15 mph below the posted limit to lower your chances of skidding and losing control.
