re: Bill allowing Utah drivers to run red lights passes House

sorry to hijack, but since it's Utah, are there any Mormons on here, or does anyone know anything about this "mission" or walkabout" business? was coming home from work last night just before midnight, 28 degrees and humid, there's two of the walkers on the side of the road, with slacks and their short sleeved white shirts on just walking(one was a cute young lady,) where do they go? never seen them actually stop anywhere, where do they stay? how do they finance their walkabout?


started to offer the chick a ride, btw

Kind of dumb to make it 90 seconds. Just make it so they can treat it like a stop sign if they don't want drivers waiting for no reason.

I’m guessing this stipulation is to enforce violations on those who abuse the law.

Example- you come to a red light, stop for 5 seconds, no one is around so you go. Not gonna get a ticket. But if you do a rolling stop at a red light recklessly when other traffic is around, that gives officers the freedom to issue a citation whereas otherwise the reckless driver could use their own definition of “light traffic” and claim they considered it light traffic and therefore okay. Easier for an officer to say it wasn’t 90 seconds and the driver can’t really argue that.
