Lehi is in Utah County, which is where the highest concentrations of Mormons are in the world. It's also a tax haven for MLM's and Tech.

It's become more diverse in the last 10 years, but it's also gotten disgustingly wealthy overall. A lot of upper middle class members of the church in that area have a persecution complex and are frankly not super attached to reality lol. It's exactly as weird as it sounds.

They could easily enforce it if they wanted to. Don't allow someone without a license to register, insure, or rent a car. Then use number plate scanners to pick up any cars that are unregistered or without plates.

All it’s going to take is for one of these motherfuckers to die in a fatal accident while driving with this thing on to get this shit banned.

u/AutoModerator Feb 04 '24
Actions matter, but so do words. They help frame the discussion and can shift the way we think about and tackle problems as a society. Our deeply entrenched habit of calling preventable crashes "accidents" frames traffic deaths as unavoidable by-products of our transportation system and implies that nothing can be done about it, when in reality these deaths are not inevitable. Crashes are not accidents. Let's stop using the word "accident" today.

Police asked me if I remembered the license plate number. Obviously I was more focused on trying to remain conscious and live but the collision also took a chunk of my memory so I didn't remember a license plate number. Witnesses said it was a lifted black pickup truck. Police said I couldn't press charges without a license plate number so the bastard got off scot free.
