I live in SLC, Utah and what a tragedy it was last year when that young woman was hit and killed going up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The woman who hit her claimed she didn't even see her. I think that's the problem. A lot of drivers think of their cars as an extention of themselves. They climb into cars with all their own problems and emotions and go. I drive for a living and have learned (the hard way) that when you get behind a steering wheel, the road should have your full attention. Be aware of everything around you. It's a miracle some people live through every day. I'm also a cyclist. So I see the bad driving from both sides. Yesterday I took my kids to the movie and my oldest son nearly got creamed twice. He's nine. He cried. And no, the drivers didn't even bother stopping. I don't think the first one even saw us there. Anyways, Utah is doing a lot to educate people about bike awareness. Thank God!
