It’s Official: Texas Drivers Are Worse Than Oklahoma Drivers

I think we've been having this same debate as a couple of states for a very long time.

When it comes to Oklahoma vs Texas, who are the worst drivers?

I think all Okies are familiar with how this usually goes down. You're driving down the road and a random slow driver seems to be taking their sweet time in the fast lane. Nine times out of ten it's someone with Texas plates.

Nobody knows why they drive so slow while visiting the Sooner State, but they do.

Alternatively, after living in Texas for so many years, they feel the exact same way about Oklahoma drivers.

I was pulled over in a speed trap outside of Alvin, Texas a decade or so ago. It was 3 AM and I had grown tired of the constant 45 to 55 to 65 to 45 MPH speed limits on that stretch of Highway 6, I just set my cruise in the middle and went along my way.

The first thing that police officer said to me was "I'm surprised I got you for speeding, I thought all you Oklahoma drivers were slow." We had a little chat about DMV requirements when relocating to Texas and the legalities of wearing a fake priest's collar in a license photo (FYI: That's illegal in Texas) and he let me on my way with a warning.
