 It’s back-to-school time again! We all want to get to wherever our end-of-summer plans may take us. The Utah Highway Safety Office is asking for your help to prevent aggressive and inattentive driving problems, which contribute to crashes. If we can all make an extra effort to drive with care and courtesy, the number of driver error and aggressive related crashes will be reduced. Click "read more" for some tips for a more courteous and friendly driving experience.
• Maintain a safe distance from vehicle in front of you.
