In Texas, drivers must adhere to a strict standard of care when driving.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. Occasionally

Answer: (B)

Driving requires a duty of care: you must operate a vehicle with reasonable care and obey traffic laws to avoid harming others. In Texas, this duty is applied strictly in practice, meaning a driver is expected to follow rules and exercise prudent care at all times. When a driver violates a traffic statute or otherwise drives carelessly, that breach can breach the duty and lead to negligence; sometimes the violation itself can establish negligence per se because the statute exists to protect safety on the road. Think of actions like running a red light, speeding excessively, or texting while driving—each reflects failing to meet the required level of care and can result in liability. Therefore the statement aligns with how the standard of care is enforced, which is why the answer is true.
