- Utah's legal alcohol limit for drivers is 0.05 BAC, lower than most states, and you can still be charged below it if you are too impaired to drive safely. Source
- Courts must fine a driver caught speeding in a highway work zone at least twice the normal speeding fine. Source
- Studded snow tires are allowed only from October 15 through March 31. Source
- If you drive in the left lane of a multi-lane highway and a faster car comes up behind you, you must move right to let it by, or you can be cited for impeding traffic. Source
- Drivers over 18 may talk on a phone only by voice command; no driver may type, read texts, browse or take photos on a handheld phone while the car is moving. Source
