Craziest Drivers

Craziest Drivers

I think Utah is going to give Los Angeles a serious challenge this year for the craziest drivers contest. As we were driving north on I-15 through Utah, we were driving about 80 (which was barely keeping up with traffic). An older Oldsmobile attempted to bully its way through traffic, weaving in and out, tailgating to get my wife to get her into the slow lane (where she did actually belong). As the Oldsmobile passed, doing about 90, I looked in to see if the driver was angry. No, she wasn't angry--she was applying makeup while driving aggressively, looking in a compact mirror, instead of at the road or or the other cars.

But there was something that topped this: my wife noticed a moped struggling to maintain freeway speed as we drove through Salt Lake City's actually pretty severe rush hour traffic. And what is the moped driver doing while attempting to navigate traffic that provided a quite sufficient adrenalin rush? Why, he appeared to be texting on his cell phone!
