The biggest jump scare this Halloween? Finding out your motorcycle has an open recall. Check and make sure your ride is up to date. #DriveLikeATexan

Lane splitting is illegal in Texas. Stay in your lane and be patient. Traffic is too unpredictable to risk squeezing between vehicles, and the risks simply aren't worth it! #DriveLikeATexan

Alcohol affects your judgment, balance, and reaction time when you need them most. Two wheels. Zero excuses. Never ride impaired. #DriveLikeATexan

Intersections can be especially dangerous for motorcyclists. Heavy traffic, obstructed views, and split-second driver decisions can make it easy for riders to go unnoticed. Increase your visibility, anticipate unexpected movements, and ride defensively. #DriveLikeATexan

Road crews work hard to keep Texas moving, but active work zones can present extra challenges for motorcyclists. Watch for debris, changing traffic patterns, and be patient. #DriveLikeATexan

Being a passenger princess means enjoying the ride without doing the work, but don't get too comfortable. Passengers still need a DOT-approved helmet and full protective gear. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride, but never let your guard down. #DriveLikeATexan

35% of motorcycle operators involved in fatal crashes in 2024 were riding without a valid motorcycle license. Getting licensed isn't just about following the law. It's about gaining the knowledge and confidence to ride safely. Get licensed. Ride smart. #DriveLikeATexan

A cool-looking helmet might turn heads, but its real job is protecting yours. Before hitting the road, check that your helmet is DOT-approved and in good condition. Safety never goes out of style. #DriveLikeATexan

Fog quickly reduces visibility and creates dangerous riding conditions for motorcyclists. Be sure to wear high-visibility gear to help others see you, and don't be afraid to play it safe. If the fog becomes too thick, find a safe place to stop and wait it out. #DriveLikeATexan

As we celebrate Pedestrian Safety Month, remember that safer roads depend on everyone looking out for one another. Slow down, stay alert, check intersections and crosswalks, and always look twice for motorcycles and pedestrians. #DriveLikeATexan

The faster you ride, the less time you have to react. A sudden stop, curve, road hazard or vehicle pulling into your path can turn dangerous quickly when speed is involved. Slow down, follow posted speed limits and give yourself the time and space to react. #DriveLikeATexan
