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!

Don't forget stop sign running as well. I got plowed in the rear of my car when someone ran the stop sign coming out on the access road next to Taca Cabana here in Norman. The guy never stopped and did almost $3000 damage to the back of my Taurus. Then he says you don't need to call the cops! Yeah right! Immediately dialed 911!

Ended up with a shoulder injury from the seat belt but not wearing one would have been a lot worse!

It was a bright sunny day -- no precipitation!
