Ponca City is the State's Capitol of Dumbass Drivers

[Profreedomokie]

I left the house tonight to go by Lowes and Walmart. I got about a half mile on 14th street and some ******* in a silver Surburban pulls out from the left and goes over the outside lane. I had to brake a little to miss him. We were both getting up to speed from the stop light. About the time I'm even with his rear bumper he whips right over into my lane. No signal at all.1st emergency stop of the night. Then I left Lowes by the 14 st. exit and turned right on Knight St. As I came up to the Lowes parking lot exit/entrance some ******* in a welding just slowly pulls right in front of me. 2nd emergency and wait. Then after leaving Walmart and going south on 14th street I met ******* number 3. He pulled out from my right, right in front of me. He stopped with the front half of his car in the center turn lane and the other half completely blocking my lane. Hard emergency stop. I need to get my car demagnetized. It seems to attract assholes. I guess I need to start using one of my Land Rovers to run around town and quit using my little Fiat. I'm just venting, I'm still pissed.

That's methed up.

Sounds like one of the better driving days in Tulsa.

Driving in Ponca is for amateurs prepping for Tulsa and OKC.

 

[THAT Gurl]

Yeah ... Nope ... OKC's got that beat during "off peak" driving hours. You should be here for rush hour ... Bunch of road-raging assholes ... Who ALL think traffic laws are "just suggestions" ...

At one time, the traffic in Ponca on 14th street was the most heavily trafficked street in Oklahoma.
The corporate folks at the Conoco Refinery didn't like living here so they moved the offices to Houston to enjoy the big life in that city.
That move hurt the economy of the Ponca city in one way and helped it in another.
Homes that cost 2-3 million in other locations cost less than 1 million to build here.
There are some amazing homes being built here currently.

I like to follow them to their destination if I have time. Let them go in and wait three or four minutes. Then knife their sidewalls on three tires. I usually feel a little better driving home.

The above is for satirical purposes only.

Sounds like every day in Tulsa. I think someone else said it, but the cops need to start ticketing again. Everything. Cut across lanes? $300 ticket. Left turn from right lane? $300 ticket. Stop traffic in one lane so you can force a merge into another? $300 ticket. Your radio too loud at the red light? $100 ticket.
The city wouldn't need to raise property taxes on the good citizens so much if they'd just turn the cops loose and let them do a proper policing.

Or anywhere in and around OKC which bears a striking resemblance to a typical day in the Dallas Ft. Worth area.

It gets a little closer day by day ... I am starting to REALLY like Amazon and Sam's delivery. Integris has this "concierge" service that amounts to what I think is a PA or RN making house calls..I REALLY gotta see how much that little jewel costs.
