Troopers stop more than 80 HOV lane violators in less than 3 hoursThe HOV lane is purposed for two or more people riding in a vehicle and is not to be used as a passing lane, law enforcement said. Well, yeah. I mean duh 🙄 Question for pro lifers. If she’s pregnant can she use the HOV? HOV lanes are an abomination. They do not reduce traffic congestion. The far left lane should be designated for when a drivers destination is 20 miles or greater and should be the fastest lane on the highway. Max should be increased to 90mph.

Here's something nearly 80% of Utahns can agree on — bringing the Olympics backA whopping 79% of Utahns approve of the Winter Games coming back to Utah, according to the latest Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll, while only 16% disapprove, and just 5% weren't sure how they felt about hosting again. Yea because we need better roads! Seems the IOC would rather have the games go somewhere else because they had their feelings hurt over Mitt Romney’s diplomatic boycott of the Beijing games. The IOC can stick it. I am sure they are all looking forward to competing on man made snow. Change the state slogan to greatest drought on earth.
