I give you all this warning now: Don't any of you ever try driving in Utah. The roads here are HORRIBLE! Driving down a freeway here is like a high-stakes game of Pac-Man. I swear sometimes other cars CHASE you, just trying to get into a wreck! On top of that, we have speeders, bad road conitionds, unending construction, and we have more drivers that are drunk than sober sometimes.
Oh, and by the way. I like driving too.  It feels like being at the helm of a ship every time you get behind the wheel.

I-35 claims like one life per day. Plus, there are so many state troopers on that road, you can get a ticket for picking your nose while driving. Not that I do that.
