Road rage takes another young father

A stupid fight over something so trivial is now a potential murder. That's terrible.

Most window tint levels are OK in Utah.

I don't like tinted windows, when I'm on my bike I want to see the driver and

Same. It's hard to flip someone off if they can't see me.

It is never worth it... Let the other driver "win" . I get upset but I have

Its past time for video surveillance on roadways. Will save lives

I don't think encouraging cameras on millions of roads is the answer. besides the privacy issues, the cost would be huge

no.. just get your own car camera

Hard no from me on that one.

Lots of options. Linus identifies a couple good choices.

So the post has nothing to do with the news story?

Specifically: no. Topically: yes.

I added an addendum.

One man dead another facing a long prison term over brake-checking.

Agree with your first sentence. Feel bad for the guy, but sounds like they both

I disagree with your conclusion. There needs to be jail time

Yeah if they just pulled over got in a fight sure, but following them?

it's premeditated assault if that's a thing I think it is. Not just self defense

Mayor of Cougartown

Jun 4, 11:54am

Premeditation could never apply in this case. Unless you can prove that he

Corn Pop

I was thinking self-defense could apply for the person being followed.

The Dark Knight

Jun 4, 12:41pm

Doubt it. Says he was from Eagle Mountain and the fight took place in Lehi.

Corn Pop

Jun 4, 12:50pm

You make a good point and one I didn't specifically take into consideration.

Jun 4, 11:56am

I had to look it up, seems like Utah doesn't allow "mutual combat" as a defense to an assault/homicide charge

Why are you going 85 in the left lane if the right lane was available for him to pass? The law requires you to move over

Have you traveled to St. George from Utah/SL counties lately?

It's interesting how we lose our humanity a bit while driving.

Why does stuff like this happen in Utah more than other places. Seems odd.

Dangerous

Jun 4, 11:55am

Every time I hear a claim like this, I go on another business trip and see plenty of road rage and left lane lurkers.

Jun 4, 11:59am

I don't think it's just you. I notice it exponentially more when I'm in Utah.

gangbusters

Jun 4, 12:05pm

Idaho drivers are awful. I routinely see them going 55-65 mph in the left lane

Jdoc

Jun 4, 12:13pm

You're very correct, but thankfully not aggressive usually.

gangbusters

Jun 4, 12:15pm

True

Does it?

Byron McNertney

It doesn't. Utah is ranked #21 for confrontational drivers.

When I lived in Texas back in the eighties, they had the most polite drivers

What are you doing that ends you up in group brawls and fights like that?

Brawls from my late teens and early 20s — prior to my mission. I hung out with guys who could scrap. People like this
