On Monday morning, after this weekend's record-breaking winter storm, I got a call from a Wyoming state trooper who wanted to, politely and professionally, scold the driver of a MINI Cooper who, according to the driver, just wanted to see if the road was open yet.
We all have our reasons for wanting to get where we're going as fast as we can. Sometimes we're running late, or we had something unexpected on the way that temporarily slowed us down. No matter what the reason, in Wyoming, when we're going somewhere, we're getting there fast...And we have the speeding tickets to prove it.
There have often been complaints about Cowboy State drivers, whether they're from here, transplants or folks that just don't know how to drive during our winter conditions.
Like I have said in the past, I am not an aggressive driver. But, when I see people doing things like speeding in residential areas or apartment complex parking lots it really does grind my gears!
Whilst driving to grab lunch downtown, I was almost hit, not once, not twice, but three times. Why is road politeness going out the window in Oil City as of late?
After collecting dozens of votes over the last month, we have a clear winner when it comes to our poll question asking "which Wyoming county has the WORST drivers?"
