Here in Norman, about 12 miles south of OKC, we have absolutely no snow! So many times since moving up here from Texas we have seen snow stay above I-240.

Heard that roads were really treacherous the farther you went north and NE of OKC!

It really isn't the drivers here as much as the fact we don't have the equipment for snow removal. At least here in the OKC area, I haven't noticed bad drivers in the snow even though people like to say that. They are actually worse on sunny days IMO!

Of course, there is always the experience factor. Drivers who don't get the opportunity to practice driving in snow won't be as skilled as those who do.

But you're right about the city snow removal equipment. Cities here just don't have as much, and don't order as much sand, as cities in more snowy parts of the country.

It's the red-light-running that is worst here, with following too close in second place. I don't see speeding or other kinds of reckless driving as much in OK as I did in South Carolina or Florida. However, I wish the people here would learn a little physics. Wet roads are not dry roads! They need to slow down when the coefficients of friction decrease!
