Speeding and bad driving habits are not limited to OK drivers...
Yeah, I drive to OKC on a regular basis and see many people already driving 85-90 mph. I do occasionally see the 90 + folks pulled over by the OHP.
Pretty much like the wind. Just add 10 MPH for Texas.As fast as we drive in OK , add 10 MPH for driving in Dallas
The highway between Duncan and Marlow is 55 then slows to 50 just 2 or 3 miles north of Duncan.When coming back from OKC I have to slow it down the last 10 miles.Never understood the reason for this, its a 4 lane and a pretty decent highway.
Oh hell yes, that's just to keep from getting run over. And if there is a slowdown or stoppage the Mercedes and Audis use the shoulder as their personal highways. Look out for motorcycles between lanes too.As fast as we drive in OK , add 10 MPH for driving in Dallas
Highway 87 between Clayton, New Mexico and Raton, New Mexico gets my goat every time. There are a couple of "communities" (mostly made up of dilapidated buildings) where they reduce the speed down to 50 mph or 45 mph, even when neither of the towns have the highway (4-lane) go right through town. Those speed zones are something like 1 or 2 miles before and after the town. You feel like you are out in never-never-land before you get to go back up to 70.
The posted speed limit could be 100 MPH and there are always a few jerks that would drive 120 MPH and ruin it for everyone else.
A HUGE issue for me, and I've stayed in my lane to put some of the idiots into the shoulder. Traffic coming into an entrance MUST yield to normal traffic. That's why that yield sign is there.And the super courteous trucker going 61mph that jerks left in front of 75mph traffic to let them in...
