Utah's Red Light Proposal Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Utah's Red Light Proposal

Rating: 4.5


Latest law
Pending in Zion Land

Allowing drivers
To proceed through a red light,
After having come to a complete stop.

If passed,
I can hear the excuses now,
The sun was in my eyes!
I had the right of way!

They just did not see
Death coming their way

I though I had commented on this before, but I don't see my comment now. I don't think this law ever passed, did it?

A most powerful last line. I am amazed that Utah would even consider such a lenient law. An accident, or Death, is always a potential threat on New Zealand roads also.

Oh by the way, Utah does not have Red Light Districts, you have to visit Nevada for that.
