Tips for driving in Lubbock
Lubbock drivers should be prepared for rapidly changing weather and road conditions. The city is located in the South Plains, where wind and dust storms can quickly reduce visibility — especially on highways outside the city. Blowing dust and high winds are common hazards and can make travel dangerous.
You’ll usually encounter less traffic in Lubbock because it’s more spread out than other major metro areas. That said, areas near Texas Tech University can become crowded during the school year, particularly on game days. Parking in the city also tends to be easier, but it’s still a good idea to watch for street parking restrictions and pedestrian traffic near campus.
Car insurance quotes in Lubbock by driving record
Lubbock has a relatively high percentage of drivers with a speeding ticket — 4%, which is higher than in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. But an average number of drivers have an accident on their record.
Texas is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused the accident must pay for any repairs and medical bills. The following table shows the average monthly rates for different types of driving records in Lubbock, according to Insurify data.
Driving Record | Average Monthly Quote |
