Can you be ticked or given a traffic citation for driving barefoot in Oklahoma? Somehow this topic came up at the water cooler and the answer to that question may surprise you.
If you thought Lawton roads and potholes were bad before, you haven't seen nothing yet. Thanks to the winter storm we had last week with all the snow, ice and water everywhere along with the dirt, salt and plowing it's definitely going to do some damage to our roads.

The asphalt roads will be worse than concrete, but both will be affected.

What's crazy is more than half the people on the road I see are either on their phones or texting!
You could pull this prank on me everyday and it would never get old. Watch as this prankster cop pulls people over for good driving. Not only does he pull them over, instead of issuing a ticket he gives them $100.00 in cash!
