I can't enough that speed and not wearing seat belts are contributing factors in most accidents, said Davis County Sheriffs Lt. Brad Wilcox, adding, Fatigue is right up there, too. Seat belt use has risen to 85 percent in the state and thousands of lives have been saved as a result, according to the Utah Safety Council. Seat belt use has also risen in the past 10 years in Davis County. Wilcox said he never pulled over a driver who wasn't contrite when they were caught not wearing a seatbelt. A lot of people felt they were above the law when it came to speed or stop signs, but they always knew they were supposed to be buckled up, especially when it came to child restraints.

Don't make it a decision, he said, because motorists who don't allow themselves enough time can run into problems on the road. Wilcox said that while there are certainly problems with motorists driving under the influence, many problems on the road still involve sober drivers who are not cautious enough. Wilcoxs words fit right in with advise from the council which also urges drivers to allow extra time for travel. The council estimates that five people may die in traffic accidents this holiday season. Along with leaving extra time for travel, the council offers other tips for motorists: Slow down and spread out d The rule can help drivers establish safe following distances, but on icy roads, in heavy snowfall or dense traffic, drivers will need to slow down and double or triple that time to create a buffer Ii 1 about." that can be coveted on the channel.

Kirby filed a petition with the U.S. District Court Court papers submitted by Taylor argue that the Kaysville ordinance, "is more extensive than necessary to serve Kaysville's governmental interest of protecting privacy, protecting consumers, and preventing crimes."

The ordinance deprives the plaintiffs of their First Amendment rights. and that, there is no reason to believe the city will be injured if it is enjoined from enforcing the ordinance."
