Oklahomans are some of the country's most confrontational drivers

[Frank Pope]

A recent study from Forbes reports that Oklahomans tend to be confrontational on the road.

As reports of road rage incidents climb across the country, Forbes surveyed 10,000 licensed drivers and compared all states from nine metrics, including tailgating, yelled, car-blocking, and receiving rude gestures.

The results? Oklahoma ranks in fifth when it comes to the most confrontational drivers.


Of the surveyed Oklahomans, 14% reported being forced off the road, 55% report being blocked from changing lanes, 59% reported being cut off on purpose, and 71% reported being yelled at or threatened.

The top ten states include Arizona, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama, Connecticut, Illinois, Texas, and Ohio.

Tulsans seem to be of the opinion that stop signs and signal lights are just suggestions. We moved here from the DFW area and if you try that there someone will blast you into next week.

So do many folks out in north Oklahoma and south Logan county . . . they also like to pass on a hill whether you're driving the speed limit or 5-10 over.

We literally have boys in this thread throwing a hissy fit and daring people, because they'll hit them with their cattle guard or whatever, to use both lanes when coming upon a lane obstruction.

Yip but there is no way we are competing with Some other places I travel,

Try Central America. If you have a horn, you're considered able to drive. And the lines on the road? They're just there to point you in the right direction.

Try Moscow, Russia. Here in OK, drivers just cut you off and sound their horn. Over there, they kill you.

Mebbe OK isn't that bad after all.
