Driving Conditions

Several factors influencing your insurance rates are weather, driving, and road conditions.

Weather

Lubbock weather has a mild, semi-arid climate which is somewhat ironic considering the city's temperature swings in the summer. Summers are very hot, but overnight temperatures can be very cold, especially in the winter. In fact, this city gets an average of 8.2 inches of snowfall annually. While it does rain, there isn't much of it with most falling between May and September.

Road Conditions

The winter cycle of freezing and thawing roads creates numerous potholes which can appear anytime and anywhere throughout the city. The potholes can be large enough to cause serious damage to your car should you drive over a large one. If you see a pothole, please report it to the city immediately so road crews can repair it.

Moving Violations

Moving violations like speeding, failure to stop, speeding, and drunk driving will give you a bad driving record and raise your insurance rates.

Traffic Tickets

The City of Lubbock Municipal Court website allows you to pay traffic citations, tells drivers how to contest tickets, and provides helpful traffic court information.
