From tailgating to brake checking, KSL explores road rage remedies and realities.
SALT LAKE CITY – So far this year, 20 people have been killed due to road rage-related crashes on Utah's roadways, according to new data released by the Utah Department of Public Safety.
"Throughout the whole state, we're seeing it everywhere: increased road rage," Peterson said. "It is a big issue that we need to combat." "We see behavior in the interaction while people are driving a vehicle that are absolutely unacceptable when driving a vehicle, but they would be incredibly unacceptable in any other environment," Rapich said. "If someone was walking slowly in front of you at a movie theater you wouldn't knock them down and threaten to beat them up."
Cutler has worked over the summer with police and prosecutors to draft legislation to address raging drivers.Cutler said Utah needs a clear definition of road rage so that it can be better tracked and punished."We are considering enhanced penalties for road rage," he added.
