Utah Drivers Lie About Medical Conditions to Keep Motoring, Officials Say
State officials say many Utah residents lie about their medical conditions so they can keep driving without restrictions.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports the state relies on people to report medical conditions themselves, which creates a scenario where lying is a plausible way to stay behind the wheel.
Officials say every month they catch about 15-20 people lying about their medical conditions. Clark Caras, director of the Utah Driver License Division, addressed legislators on Tuesday about the problem.
