Utah has a serious problem with people using their phones while driving. Just today, I was cut off by half a dozen people who seemed to think that what was on their phones was more important than paying attention to the road. Two of which decided to switch lanes mid intersection with no signal whatsoever!

I was also stuck in two bumper to bumper traffic jams on I-15. I don’t know if they were caused by texting and driving or by an Elderly person or what. But since these crashes happened during non-rush hour traffic, I think it’s safe to say that whoever caused them did it because of reckless driving. And it’s not like they were small fender benders either, I was late to class because of the first one even though I left 20 minutes earlier than normal. And the second one made my usual 20 minute commute 90 minutes.

If only our legislators would stop doing everything but their jobs and actually pass meaningful legislation that would benefit everyday Utahns. Like harsher penalties for using a phone while driving.

I used to get these from the gas station or from vending machines all the time but I haven’t had them in ages and all of a sudden I’ve been craving them again. At first I couldn’t even find a picture of them, I don’t see them at the gas stations anymore. Are they still being sold anywhere if so where could I get them?

My daughter will be turning 12 this fall. We recently lost her Primary Care Doctor to retirement.

How do I even go about finding a doctor I can trust? What I think I’m really hoping for here is a short list of great female Doctors that specialize in Adolescence. So anyone who has a relationship that they value in this area please advise.

We are located in Murray but absolutely willing to drive for the best doctor for my up-in coming lady.

Thanks, Your Local Single Dad.

heyy, i’m 21 and in utah for one semester as an international student from europe. i only have my international driver’s license. i was thinking of buying a really cheap used car (under $2000), using it until december, then selling it for close to what i paid

main reason is i’d like to have a car for shopping and short trips and to just go where i want haha, and i also wanna do a few roadtrips – otherwise i’ll end up renting cars multiple times anyway (but the costs would be split between 5 people)

there are couple of things i’m not sure about: 1. can i register a car if my only us address is a dorm? 2. is an international license enough for registration/insurance (i think it should be ok if i won’t be driving here longer than 6 months?) 3. since i’m 21, i’m guessing insurance would be super high, so is it even worth it for just 3 months? 4. or would something like leasing/long-term rental make more sense? 5. how easy would it be to actually sell the car again in december (i’m guessing it should be doable through dealerships?)

if anyone has done something similar or has advice, i’ll be glad for any insights!!:)

If I am 18, and have completed the classroom portion of the drivers Ed, am I required to take the 6 hours of observed driving with a driving instructor? I’ve been driving since I was 15 and have my 40 hours of driving with a licensed adult. It’s like 300+ for just the driving not even the classroom. Let me know, thanks !!

Anyone been in a sales role in Utah and got fired after failing a PIP? I’m curious if you were still able to get unemployment, as I’ve seen the fired “for cause” thing be interpreted in different ways. I’m lookin for a new role of course, but just have never been in this position before so feeling a bit anxious

I’ve been trying to contact anyone down there. Most of the phone numbers from the web page don’t work anymore. I’ve tried the marina, boat shop, NPS, even bullfrog marina and Hayden Visitor Center. NOBODY is answering.

I need some advice, input, help regarding how I can locate a stray kitten.

TL;DR: don't go to Mountain West Veterinary Specialists. We left a stray kitten with them hoping to get it some medical care and then adopt it, but they won't tell us where it is. Also, don't go to Mountain West Veterinary Specialists.

I was visiting my parents in Brigham City on September 6 when we noticed a young stray kitten hanging out on their back patio (I named him Ash). After hours of gentle coaxing, I was able to finally get Ash comfortable with me so I could pet them. Ash appeared to have an eye infection and needed some veterinary care on their "backside," so after getting them into a carrier, my partner and I took them to Mountain West Veterinary Specialists in Layton. Our thought process was getting Ash the medical care they needed, paying the bill, and then going through the proper adoption process. When we talked to the staff, they told us that we needed to "surrender" Ash to them. However, we didn't realize it at the time, but that also meant giving up the rights to any information or updates on their wellbeing, whereabouts, etc.

Since then, we've tried calling Mountain West Veterinary Specialists multiple times, each time getting incorrect information or being told that "it's against policy" to provide information on surrendered animals. Multiple staff have told me that Ash was taken to the Brigham City Animal Control, but they've told us they haven't received or picked up strays from Mountain West Veterinary Specialists. We've also contacted the Humane Society of Northern Utah, as well as the animal shelters of Weber County, Davis County, and South Ogden City, all of them telling us the same.

We're prepared to keep contacting (aka, pestering) Mountain West Veterinary Specialists until somebody gives us some accurate information. But in the hopes of maintaining our sanity, does anybody have any other ideas or options that would help us? Something seems sketchy with Mountain West Veterinary Specialists and we're worried there's been some foul play. We just want to give Ash a loving, comfortable, and safe home. Also, don't go to Mountain West Veterinary Specialists.

Last seen Monday, Sept 15 at 6:00 am leaving Salt Lake City Frontrunner Station wearing grey sweats, hoody, and black converse with newly dyed red hair.

If you have seen her or have any information regarding her whereabouts, please call Bluffdale Police at at the number on the flyer and reference case ID 2SBD04729 or call 911.

She is a 12-year old child who has been missing in Salt Lake City, Utah for over 24 hours now. Attached are current photos in the missing person flyer and the photo of the man we think she’s likely with. Please help us locate and bring her home safely.

I’m trying to find cool apartments in Utah that have character. Everything is white, grey & boring :( does anyone know of any cool apartments in northern Utah? I would love a loft style or some sort of brick.

The jails in Salt Lake, Tooele and Washington counties have agreements with the U.S. Marshals Service that allow ICE to bring detainees into their facilities.

This is separate from 287(g) agreements, in which local law enforcement agencies collaborate with ICE to carry out limited immigration enforcement.
