A new non-partisan study was released Tuesday that focuses on driving safety in Utah.
While we’ve made strides towards safety in some areas, there are others that are getting worse and costing lives.
Drunk driving is down, but use of cell phones while driving is up. Both are equally dangerous and yet they’re not given equal weight and consideration.
With new cell phone laws people have started to change their habits using hands free devices and voice to text.
While drunk driving numbers have dropped dramatically in the past 30 years in Utah, there is a concerning trend with people involved in serious and fatal accidents.
So far this year 18 people have died on Utah roads, and 10 were not wearing seatbelts.
A new law that starts in May will make seatbelt use a primary offense, urging all drivers to buckle up.
