Riverton • With Memorial Day approaching, Utah drivers are heading into what officials call the “100 deadliest days” of summer through Labor Day. They are urging motorists to take a few easy steps to make them the 100 safest instead.
“There's a false sense of security when you have clear roads and sunshine. We tend to get distracted easier and lulled into a false sense of security,” said John Gleason, spokesman for the Utah Department of Transportation.
“This is the deadliest time on our roads, and we want to change that. We want to make it the safest time,” he said.
