The Facebook post comes as Utah is about to be hit with a winter storm that is expected to bring a bunch of snow, making for treacherous driving conditions on the state's roadways.
UHP officials hope drivers do a self-awareness check when behind the wheel, asking themselves whether they are going too fast and paying attention to their speed.
