I saw this news article and just nodded my head.
LendingTree rated the Beehive State last among all 50 U.S. states, noting that it led the nation in speeding infractions while also placing among the top 10 in citations, accidents and DUIs. Utah — which was 22nd on the company's annual list in 2020 and sixth last year — edged out California, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio for the dubious top spot this year.
OK, the DUI thing - the limit for DUI in Utah is .05, which is the lowest in the nation. So if you keep dropping the limit, you're going to end up with more DUIs than other states. Personally, I think that's sketchy, but welcome to Utah.
As for the accidents, speeding and citations? Yeah, I can confirm all that. I would also add in the cell phone usage, blatant disregard for whatever the speed limit is, driving 55 mph in the left hand lane on the interstate, and a whole host of other things.
The drivers here suck. I blame the influx of people from LA and San Franfreakshow.
