I don't agree. My wife and I made a road trip from New Mexico to east-central Missouri, then down to Branson, into Arkansas back across Oklahoma and Texas, then home to NM. The worst roads were in OK--we had to pay to use them and they were all under construction and much of the way we could only go 45 mph. Next worse were MO--horribly rough and many under construction. We saw six-double-lane-miles of cars on the other side of an interstate dead stopped waiting to get through. Texas highways were rough and in need of maintenance. Arkansas had perhaps the newest and smoothest. And, poor old New Mexico had better highways than every state except Arkansas.

I agree with you.
Oklahoma roads suck.
Try driving them during a rain storm on I-44 from Oklahoma City to Tulsa.
I like to drive the speed limit during a rain storm. 75 MPH.
It helps to blow the water off my windshield as my wipers are rather under powered for a '80 Dodge pickup.
When the wind blows and the rain comes down hard the idiot Okies in front of me will slam on their brakes in the middle of the highway. Going from 75 to 45 MPH.
Then I hit my brakes and the truck slows and I am blinded as all the water stops blowing off my windshield.
Ticks me off.
