Crappy Drivers, Unite!

By: Mr. Wilson on March 3, 2009

Jack Mitchell doesn't take kindly to the Omaha World-Herald's two days worth of articles mocking Lincolnites' crappy driving skills. Unfortunately for the OWH, our own badged blogger throws water on the stories:

I could reduce our rate dramatically with the stroke of a pen by not submitting reports on non-injury crashes with damages of less than $1,000 to the property of any one person, or by declaring a moratorium on non-injury traffic crash investigations anytime the snow starts falling in appreciable quantities.

In other words, our cops are more complete with their paperwork. But I don't know, Lincolnites. Maybe we should let them have this one so they can spend some time working on their real problems. It's the least we can do.

Everybody thinks they are a better driver than anyone else on the road. Unfortunately, Omaha seems to really believe this.

I’ve seen plenty of poor driving decisions made by Omaha drivers but I’m willing to let them think they are the best drivers in the state if that will make them happy.

It you REALLY want to see a bad driver. Go to IOWA (Idiots Out Wondering Around, I Owe the World an Appology, In Omaha Without Asking, etc) I say about 50 hail marys everytime I drive through the state.

And they ain’t to good at Football either.

I just moved to Omaha and its a whole different world. People drive the speed limit or above and they know how to merge into traffic. I am not saying that Omaha is better when it comes to driving, it is merely different and really should not be compared to Lincoln. Lincoln has very few freeway miles, a small amount of 4 lane streets and slower speed limits. Omaha has many elevation changes, Lincoln is flat. I for one cannot stand driving through Lincoln, but I am always in a hurry. If I could slow down and enjoy the drive, Lincoln would be much better than Omaha. It is amazing how much I enjoy driving through Omaha rather than Lincoln, where I had been for the last five years.

Another pissing contest between Lincoln and Omaha!

We don’t have freeways running through our city in Lincoln so it makes the driving experience totally different. Try driving on I-80 during rush hour, that’s not much fun for me. I’d rather be stop and go on 27th than stopped on an interstate in Omaha.
