Table 1.16 shows the state of licensure for drivers involved in Utah crashes.  While out of state licensed drivers accounted for 9% of drivers involved in crashes, they represented 19% of drivers involved in fatal crashes.  This may be due in part to fatigued driving on trips. While statewide, out of state licensed drivers represented 9% of drivers involved in crashes, there were several counties that had a disproportional amount of out of state drivers (Table 1.15).  Most notably, Kane (49%), Daggett (47%), San Juan (44%), Garfield (43%) and Grand (43%) had a high proportion of out of state licensed drivers involved in crashes.  These drivers may place an undue burden on the residents and medical services in these counties.
