OUCH…Utah Gives How Many TRAFFIC POINTS for Tailgating??
Don't you hate honkers?
Why are they in such a hurry? We're all gonna be dead in 40 years, let's all just relax and hope it comes sooner. What is your problem?
Now, if you're the one at fault for driving too slowly or camping in the left lane, then you're the one who should be thrown in prison. But there's a certain amount of tailgaters and honkers in Utah who do it unjustifiably and are just a little too hyper.
Here are the traffic penalties in Utah listed by how many points you get on your license when you pooch it: (LINK TO WEBSITE)
Reckless Driving | 80 |
Speeding (depending on severity) | 35 - 75 |
Failure to Yield Right-of-Way | 60 |
Following too Closely (tailgating) | 60 |
Wrong Side of Road | 60 |
Wrong Way on One-Way Street | 60 |
Red Light | 50 |
Stop Sign | 50 |
Improper Lookout | 50 |
Improper Passing | 50 |
Negligent Collision | 50 |
Other Moving Violations | 40 |
So tailgating is only 20 less than reckless driving.
So if you're a tailgater, be careful out there. Everyone hates you, sure, but the coppers are looking to hammer you.
Here's how Utah's point system works: (LINK TO WEBSITE)
"The Utah Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) assigns points for moving traffic violations. The points are based upon the relationship between types of traffic violations and traffic accidents. If you get more than 200 points on your driving record in a three year period, you could have your driving privileges suspended. Drivers under 21 who get more than 70 points face the same penalty. Utah Administrative Rule R708-3 describes the penalties associated with accumulated points."
So take it easy out there and good luck!
