I’m thinking Oklahoma on this map is influenced by Tinker. When all those gubermint workers get off they’re ready to get home.

I'd guess it has more to do with the end of the day in education--high schoolers and college kids being done for the day and soccer moms/dads picking up their kids. I'm kind of surprised at it being that timeframe, as 8-5 seems to be the norm for business hours in Oklahoma, so I'd expect 7:30-8:00am or 5:00-5:30pm to be the dangerous times.
Or maybe it's just Tulsa where it seems that way...
Yep, it’s got to be the HS texters just getting out of class who actually think they can do something so trivial as driving a car while they tend to the much more important business of sending PM’s to everyone about nothing.
I work nights, 10pm-8am. The college campus I work at is less than 1/4 mile from our local high school, and all that morning traffic as I'm about to leave runs right in front of my building.
Between that bumper to bumper monstrosity and the glaring sun rising in the east, which is the very direction I'm turning to, it's quite a challenge.

Maybe I'm just getting old but it seems to me people are the rudest and worst drivers that I have ever seen anytime of the day. Like many things in society, it's all about me with a very little common courtesy to the other drivers.
In my experience, the worst driving is during the evening rush hour. There appear to be many distracted drivers - maybe because they're tired, maybe texting about dinner plans, who knows. Lots of weaving and sitting through green lights.
I live on a rural highway that as a kid was typically abandoned at night. Now it’s busy all hours of the day.
I think probably a good part of the problem today is there’s so many more people crowding the roads.

High School.
I44 NB and SB through Missouri. You get it all, trucks that move over squeezing you into the guard rails on either side, women in Corolla's doing 90 on bald and bouncing tires, weird routing due to construction, traffic jams spontaneously materializing out of nowhere, people in Prius' eating chips or even watching youtube on their smartphone. You know your on a bad road when illuminated signs show the death toll.
