I know this has been batted around quite a bit, but ths morning set me off again. Apparently when "Operation Slick Streets" goes into effect, "Operation Drive Like A Pu__y" is also triggered.

Always a ray of sunshine.

Amen.

I was driving in on 75 yesterday and the average speed seemed to be somewhere between old woman with a walker and Sloth.

It was almost as bad this morning. No idea why.

That's okay, the red light runners in the inner-city more than made up for it.

Tulsan's drive like old people f*ck. Slow and sloppy. ~ Steve Martin.

I just spent a week in downtown San Francisco.  The drivers here are just fine. Comparatively.

Yep, I spent four days in NoVA (northern Virginia) some time back.  Although I still grumble about Oklahoma drivers in general, they got nothing compared to the drivers there.  Wow.

I've been in New York and Newark as well as a recent trip to Atlanta. Tulsa motorists are cautious and courteous by comparison. But a little snow or ice induces Great Panic. I grew up driving in winter conditions. It doesn't bother me. But I try not to drive in those conditions here due to cold induced stupidity in others.

The width of our roads and the Tulsa grid probably help us get around without doing as much damage as we'd be prone to do.

Whenever I've visited a place where my reaction to the driving is, "What the motherpancakes are you doing?" it has been a place with older, narrower lanes.  Many times those lanes are even narrower because they remember there are people on bicycles and they dedicate lanes to them.

I've driven in San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and Portland, and by far the worst were in Vegas. Vegas reminded me of growing up driving in Tulsa. Drivers that suffer from cranial-rectal insertion.

In my experience, Tulsa has the best sidewalks to drive on.

I made the mistake years back at thinking you can drive down Bourbon Street in N.O. I quickly went back to the Hotel and got the shuttle over to it and then rode the Trolley back and forth to restaurants. It wasn't so much the other drivers(very few)as it was the drunks that don't know what the hell a car is.

Also. Ft Lauderdale is like a real Death Race 2000. Those people just merge when they feel like it, and the carp to anyone else on "their" road.

Love the observation on Ft. Lauderdale.  One of the places I'm glad we didn't rent a car, we just walked everywhere or took a cab if it was too far.

Best fountains as well.

Unless you're in a pickup truck... it apparently becomes turn up the dude-driving time.
Lots of pickups in ditches.   Sweet schadenfreude....
