How far is it to drive from California to Texas?

So I live in L.A. and my friends and I are planning a road trip this summer. How far is it to drive from California to Texas?

A road trip sounds like a lot of fun! Of course, it depends where you’re thinking of going and what roads you want to take. According to Google Maps, it’s about 1406 miles from the center of California to the center of Texas if you take the I-40E. That’s about 21 hours and 18 minutes of driving time.
Here are some other distances and travel times for trips between L.A. and other major cities in Texas:
  • From L.A. to Houston, TX: 1547 miles, 22 hours and 19 minutes driving time on the I-10 E.
  • From L.A. to Dallas, TX: 1434 miles, 20 hours and 43 minutes driving time on the I-40 E.
Remember to take breaks while you’re driving and allow time for stops and overnight stays. Hope you have a great
road trip

How long does a hybrid battery last in a Lexus?
I’m a long-time Lexus fan, but I’ve never had enough money to buy one. While thinking about getting a gas-powered vehicle, I’ve changed my mind—I want a hybrid now that gas is so expensive. But how long do Lexus hybrid batteries last? I heard they’re pricey.

What is the difference between reckless driving and aggressive driving?
There are drivers with poor driving behaviors that will one day lead to an accident in my town. It’s gotten to the point where I will step up as a witness if our law enforcement wants to put a stop to this dangerous driving! Can you tell me the difference between reckless driving and aggressive driving so that I’ll be prepared?
