Here's some news that will shock and surprise absolutely no one. Well, kind of.
Thanks to the hard work of Oklahoma First Lady Sarah Stitt, Oklahoma is a Top 10 State for "Worst Road Rage."
Here are the details via KOKH Fox 25:
A new study finds that Oklahoma drivers rank fourth in the country for the worst road rage.
The Forbes Advisor team analyzed 10 different metrics from a survey of 5,000 U.S. drivers.
"Drivers in the Sooner State were the third most likely in the nation to say that another driver has exceeded the speed limit just to block their car from changing lanes (43%)," the Forbes Advisor team said in its findings. "Oklahomans also frequently reported being tailgated (66%), honked at (69%), and being the recipient of rude or offensive gestures (52%)."
Utah drivers were found to have the worst road rage. Missouri, Colorado and New Mexico also rounded out the top 5.
At first I was puzzled how we weren't number one this, but then I realized motorists in Utah have to deal with all those Mormon kids taking up extra lanes on their bicycles. You have to admit, that would get old after a while.
That being said, Colorado topped us? You'd think all the laid-back stoned drivers would balance out the angry motorists stuck behind the stoned drivers. Maybe the non-stoned ones should smoke a bowl or two?
