I agree. I come from the mid-west (Milwaukee area) and am used to driving
in Chicago too – but the Vegas drivers have em all beat! My son that has lived
there a year now–says you can't be "nice" you "just have to go". I really believe
that with a mix of so many culutures and driving habits from different parts of the
country – that Vegas has ended up with the worst of it all! And then add on an
infrastructure that is barely keeping up! I have to admit that the taxi drivers in NYC
are probably better drivers and "nicer" – if that could possibly be???

You're on your own. And you know what you know.

This has nothing to do with VP, but the following illistrates to a
tee what our valley roadways have been seeing less of overall
population increases:safe and curtious drivers! This morning exiting
onto northbound Boulder Hwy. leaving Sams Town (after another 0.25
JOB multistrike whooping!)I began entering the left turn lane on
Boulder and Flamingo. As I got into the lane, a relatively common
driving situation arose: the arrow was in mid-yellow with the car in
front of me in mid turn. No big deal for me, I'll just wait for the
next green arrow. As Im coming to a stop, I get that ominous feeling
I think many of you are familiar with: the vehicle behind you riding
your butt so close they're practically rumaging through your trunk!
Apparently an older woman in some sort of mid-size SUV felt I missed
the yellow and now she was being forced to wait out a red arrow
unnessarily. I guess she failed to notice that at best there was a
second or two before it went red and I was still a good 20 yards
from getting into the turn. I dont like being in the intersection
with a red arrow, thats just my rule. Man was she irrate! . . . .
