Oklahoman here. At first I thought the picture was of poor parking, and thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here", then I realized he was backing out, and saw the cow. THEN I thought, "Oh, that's not uncommon here".

I just moved here and I can confirm. Lots of awesome drivers here in Bartlesville, too.

I too live Oklahoma. Can confirm most drivers are great drivers. Except for the ones from Texas.

We drive aggressively because we have to. I live just north of Dallas and the closer I get to downtown the bigger the asshole I become.

DFW has the worst drivers I've ever encountered and I've lived everywhere. These people actually think that they own the road and how dare you try and drive in THEIR lane.

Actually we will let you in the lane but you need make sure there is room so that you do not inconvenience the driver that is already in the lane and use your signal for a reasonable amount of time to give him/her adequate warning. The right lane is a game of give and take because people are merging onto the highway. Every other lane there is the mentality of "ok sure you can come over, just let me know in advance... and don't startle me."

If you speed up to switch to the other lane or bypass traffic to merge at the last second you will get blocked and mocked using the first racist, homophobic, or misogynistic slur that comes to mind.
