Get off your damn cell phone (as in: put it AWAY!) and focus on not hitting cyclists and joggers while driving on the winding road .

Watch out for cyclists texting and riding. Just saw a baby stroller almost get rundown. Cyclist then gave the mother the finger and cursed her off. Stay classy Salt Lake !

Note to cyclists : Sound carries in the canyon. You might want to keep details of your colonoscopy or cheating wife to yourself.
