I-215 Grass Fire

Off to the side of I-215 today there was a grass fire. It was relatively small, but made a large amount of smoke, and some pretty cool video while driving through it.

The fire was big enough it rated a small article on the SL Tribune that can be found here (nothing on KSL though that I saw).

Left Turn Slipup

The car in front of me went to follow the next car in turning left. It misjudged the gap and had to avert its course to avoid being hit by the oncoming car.

Blown Tire

While driving today, a truck several hundred yards away from me had a blowout. It made a loud bang that was audible back in my car, along with a cloud of dust. After a few more moments, the outer layer of the tire came off. He then moved over to the right lane, and apparently got off at the 106th S exit.

Aggressive Merging

Thanks to Duncan for the submission!

“I see this stunt happen quite a lot during my short commute. It doesn’t always happen to me but I see it being done to many others at this merge. It typically happens more on my way home that on my way to work. I was travelling North on I-215 heading home. The traffic was quite light, as it was about 6:30pm. I-80 merges with I-215 before the 7th north exit. I noticed this SUV approaching from the I-80 lane but didn’t realize he HAD to get in front of me. there was no -one for quite some distance behind me and when I realized he was unhappy with having to slow down to 65MPH and already alongside me I had no where to move over to get out of his way.”

Bridge Transport

This morning on the way to work, I passed several semis transporting what appeared to be bridge pieces (likely for the construction in Bountiful).
