I recently completed a driving trip to the Navajo Nation and transited Salt Lake City via the freeways. I count myself lucky to have survived the experience.
Salt Lake is the only city I’ve ever driven in that has so many drivers going at least 80 MPH in the city limits. And if you’re not doing 80, you’re forcing other drivers to swerve around you like they’re driving the Indy 500.
Try being from out of town and having to pay attention to road signs while everything from smart cars to triple trailer semis are bearing down on you at high speed. Are fatal traffic accidents more frequent in your town?
