    This happens all the time. Most people in Saint George just can’t drive! There have been many times that I have had to slam on my brakes because somebody turned in front of me,pulled out in front of me to make a right turn, and NOBODY EXCEPT FOR MYSELF USES THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE CALLED A TURNING LANE! I know it might be because I learned to drive in Atlanta,Ga. There is still no excuse for the ignorance on our roads and freeways. I can gurantee most people…the ol’folks fail thier vision test and are still able to operate a vehicle. I know this because the wife works at an eye doctor here in town. The doctor recommends that some of these folks not drive and they still do. even after the DMV is notified by the doctor. Don’t get me started on teenagers who’s parents buy them 300-600hp cars either….
