This vehicle for some reason fails to yield to the right so that the trooper can get by. The trooper then attempts to pass this vehicle, but is unable to do so for awhile because of oncoming traff- ic. The above situation is not hypothetical, in that the scenario is replayed several times for troopers and ambulance personnel on the way to a single accident. In the long run, it may only take a couple of minutes longer for us to arrive on the scene, but those minutes could make the difference in someones life.

Every trooper has had near misses on the way to accidents, and when working on the road. One has even had his hind-en- d hit by a vehicle door mirror. Remember that when you see us coming with lights and siren, we will be coming faster than normal, so quickly and safely move to the right to give us plenty of room. The extra room has helped every one of us on more than one occasion avoid an accident. We appreciate your compliance to these laws. As you obey them you will set the proper example for all of the visitors who come to our area and do not know what to do when an emergency vehicle is approaching. Until next month, buckle up and be careful. right-of-wa- Free eye surgery for those who cant pay Free cataract surgery is once again available from the Eye Institute of Utah for those ofall ages who are unable to pay.
