For Fun: Here Are EVEN MORE Bad Utah Drivers

In some places, being a cop would just be ... too easy! Quota filled within an hour!
For the first time ever, I'm posting my entire collection! These are the best clips (the ones I'd share with close friends and family). Here's part two of two.

[@fisshbone]

Who needs to commit insurance fraud when you can just drop by Utah and get in a bonafide accident with no strings attached!

[@jamestucker8088]

I tried only once to use a crosswalk that wasn't at an intersection in Utah. It was a 4 lane road. Finally someone in the right lane stopped so I proceeded to cross. The rest of the traffic just changed lanes to get into the left lane and go by the stopped car. Some even honked at me for daring to cross the street. Its like they had no idea what a crosswalk is for.

[@MasterMayhem78]

Because unless there’s a stop sign then you’re obstructing traffic by stopping. The pedestrian can cross when safe.

[@shrraga]

@@MasterMayhem78 Pedestrians have priority over all traffic. When pedestrian is in crosswalk all traffic is required to stop until the pedestrians are out of the crosswalk. Pedestrians do not need to wait from noon until midnight for the traffic to ease up to allow for crossing without inconveniencing the poor drivers who will be slowed by 30 seconds by their crossing.

[@notmuch_23]

The pedestrians that hesitated probably lived around there for a while.

[@paveltolz6601]

Same with the people who don't go on green...overabundance of caution...they haven't seen the 5th car run the red light yet.

[@Hezkezl]

@@paveltolz6601 You're 1000000% correct. I used to live in Utah (2006-ish is when I left) and people running red lights was almost a given. If you take a look at the lights in this (and his other) video, notice how long it takes for the light to turn green after the other side turns red. The state itself has a 2-3+ seconds timeframe after all stoplights are red before making the next one turn green, just to compensate for people running red lights all the time... seriously! Time the red->green transition and look how long it takes!

[@russetwolf13]

I don't cross until I lock eyes with the person who's supposed to be stopping for me. That way they at least have to look me in the eyes when they run me over. Also hit multiple times on my bike, it's why I don't ride in the road anymore.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Subarus are a logical choice in snowy areas because they are reliable, economics, affordable and safe AWD vehicles, but they are decent choices elsewhere. That said, bad driving is everywhere. Humans are equally fallible everywhere, so they make mistakes everywhere, and break rules intentionally everywhere.

[@m.a.packer5450]

I like what a British lady said about Utah drivere: the problem is that they don't seem to know where they are going, or what they are doing at any given moment on the road. It's as though they are surprised that they are in a car, and just panic

[@NoName-ik2du]

I remember riding in the car with my dad as a kid, and whenever he saw someone do something stupid, he would mock them by shouting, "Help me! I'm driving!"

[@JHarleyRath]

Given how often drivers are running red lights, maybe the ones who refuse to go on green are just being smart? :)

[@lth5015]

I use to live in Philly and we'd just call these people, drivers or Jersey drivers. (For Philly people, I used to drive from Manayunk to Plymouth Meeting on Ridge/Henry Ave.) The number of people I saw run a red light AND the number of people I saw go right before the green is insane. And I'm sure they were the same people. How I never saw an accident still amazes me. EVERY light someone was running a red or going early. My favorite Jersey driver moment was when I pulled up to get gas next to a car with Jersey plates. I don't know how long they were sitting there but I got out and started pumping gas. The Jersey driver gets out of her car and loudly says, "well, I guess I got to pump my own gas." ...Yeah, it's 2013(at the time). You're not in Jersey (or Oregon). Full Service isn't a thing here. I also HATED every time I had to get gas in New Jersey. I have to wait for someone else to do something I've been doing since I was 16? No Thank You

[@jcarp1776]

I've often wondered if all the out of state students (looking at you BYU) contribute to the bad "Utah" driver wrap?

[@officialp.a.f.3229]

Being from SLC it’s bizarre to see this many turn signals actually being used. The only people that use them in Utah are the ones that use them incorrectly.

[@daxware603]

Utah drivers be like: “pedestrians yield for me”

[@Mk101T]

Exactly ... Utah be a right to work state , not a right to walk across the street state. Cuz if you're walking you probably have no job . (their thoughts) LOL ... at least that's how it felt to me , in my encounters as a pedestrian vs drivers there. One time I had to do a cart wheel over a fiero that was turning right , with me in the cross walk approaching the corner they were turning at. And they just drove off as if I hadn't just planted both hands on their hood , kicking my legs up and over to avoid getting chopped off at the knees.

[@jasminevalladolid1755]

That sounds terrifying, but you probably looked super cool like something out of James Bond. I had a question if you don’t mind since you’re the most recent person in these comments. I’m from Utah and I just started driving though no one really taught me how to safely turn left onto a multi lane road. At 3:1 6 how would they have correctly done their maneuver? Sorry to bother!

[@Mk101T]

@@jasminevalladolid1755 LoL your right ... I did feel like James Bond that day. It was in Ogden by the way. On their main drag , I think about 3-5 blocks south of the mall entrance , east side of road. I was 19 yr old at the time , so pretty spry . Just can't believe they didn't even hesitate , just drove on. The problem you mention at 3:16 in the video ... is the black car that flips a U turn. Starts from the right lane of the traffic lane he is traveling. What they should do is signal to get in the left lane , then signal into the median lane. Wait for on coming traffic clearance. Then execute their U turn. It is understandable someone could do what they did on a road with sparse traffic. But obviously that is not the case. Even with sparse or no traffic though , a cop could pull them over and issue a ticket.

The really strange thing is that you can't blame cell phones for people driving that way. Utah drivers were like this well before cell phones were a thing. They maybe made it worse, who knows?

I've never understood why drivers will blatantly run a red left turn arrow while U-Turning but not while turning left. I see that all the time in Utah and it drives me nuts. I've seen a rear-ender happen because of it. About one of the dumbest things you can do.

[@jeanschyso]

Honestly some of those are scary, but some of those make sense, like the people stuck walking on the little nudge of "sidewalk" or people going under the speed limit. The speed limit is just an upper limit. If they're carrying something liquid or fragile, or just had a baby and are on the way back home, they are absolutely allowed to drive slowly. I hope that cyclist girl finally ended up buying a cargo rack and a net to carry her stuff. You could get hurt holding a bag like that on a bike. It can get stuck in the wheel.

One guy caught air and the other slammed into the concrete fountain so hard their front wheel was lodged against the wheel well. And that was all after a person had plowed through the same flowerbed and into the fountain plaza through our fountain control box!
