In my 31 years of speeding through OKC interstates, I can count on zero hands how many times I’ve needed help from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
That being said, I’d need both of my hands—and probably an abacus or two—to count all the times I’ve had to slam on my brakes and look in the rearview mirror after spotting a trooper with a radar gun parked under an overpass, or worse yet, driving 62 in the middle lane on I-44 during rush hour.
As a result, I guess you can’t blame me for celebrating like a drunk driver heading up I-35 after an OU football game at the exciting news that, effective this November, state troopers will no longer patrol highways in the OKC and Tulsa metros!
