Some of you have heard my rantings and ravings of the abilities of the Utah drivers. Whether you agree or not, they are my opinions and I'm sure that if I pushed, I could get some support behind me. I love watching the news and have been following some of the accidents of the day today in the Salt Lake Valley and decided to email one of the KSL reporters responding to one of the accidents in Lehi. Below is my email:
Sam,
Thanks for reporting on this story and making sure the pictures were available. I am from Idaho and for a long time have wondered about the driving abilities of the majority of the Utah residents. That is, until my Idaho license expired and I was forced to get a Utah license. I pushed off getting my new license until the day before my license expired because I wasn't sure I could pass the test to obtain a new license. You can imagine my surprise when I went to the DMV and was handed the manual for the test! All of my questions were suddenly answered! The driving is the way it is in Utah because it's an open book test! Can you imagine how many drivers wouldn't have licenses if they actually had to learn how to drive and then pass the test without using the manual? Can you imagine how fewer accidents we would have if Utah residents actually had to learn the contents of the manual and then pass the test!
Just some food for thought.
Andy
Ha! You are sooooo cruel and RIGHT.
