Ponca City is the State's Capitol of Dumbass Drivers

From 4 pm to 6 pm I-235 northbound is a raceway. Especially from 1-44 north. Everyone is trying to get home faster than you. Doing the speed limit can get you killed.

I-35 from Waterloo to the first Guthrie exit is a 90 mph speed limit in the left lane. It's crazy how someone will go through gymnastic driving to get around you to gain one car length and then pull into the Guthrie exit if you're doing 89.
What did they gain? 1/10 of a second?

Kinda sounds like everyone thinks wherever they live has the worst drivers haha!

Oh, Tulsans got nothing on Texicans, and even Texicans ain't a stitch on Yankees. People in Chicago think Indiana drivers are the worst, and people in Indiana think Chicago drivers are the worst. I got news for them--they're they're both right.

My vote is Edmond, home of the 3 second green traffic lights and speeding lane divers.

Yep. I'm so glad I'm working from home now and don't have to drive through the heart of Edmond to get to my old office.

It's that way from the turnpike interchange on I-35 up through Edmond to Waterloo.

Sounds like all of Hefner Parkway from the turnpike down to I-40.

I get a good laugh when I see y’all talking about traffic and bad drivers. The lack of traffic is one of the things my daughter likes about the OKC metroplex.

After working Rhode Island in our Summer job last year, I can say that I've not seen worse except maybe in places like Dallas, and a lot of Dallas' problem is so dang many lanes on the expressways.

Now, with all that said, we will soon be heading to Oregon in a week or so, and I'll wait until after we've experienced Portland, OR before I update my opinions of drivers.

All that said, I don't find either Tulsa or OKC to be all that bad, but then I always try to avoid rush hours.
