The drivers here are horrible! I have lived in MANY big cities and nothing compares to this. The reason is cell phones, self-centered attitude, people in such a hurry to get to God knows where! This really is the rudest, most self centered city I have lived in. I have been here to 8 years! And yes, I know you are going to post that I should just move and that I will.

Just be sure to take another whiner under each arm when you leave.

As an interesting aside, I have never met anyone that was willing to admit they were not a "good driver".

I think it is a universal truth that most, if not all, believe they are a better driver than the person next to them on the road.
That is exactly right. Remember the bad driving habits in Las Vegas are imported from every other state and foreign country since virtually EVERYONE here is from someplace else. Because of that, as the city grows, all bad habits get worse.

Does constantly beating your kids make them better? Does punishing a whole group because one is bad make sense? Education is the answer, not more cops. You should have to pass a vigorous test to get your license to drive. You should be taken to a track and put through all kinds of maneuvers to prove you can handle a car in any situation, and you should prove that you are mature enough to drive in a safe manner. Those people who show they are a constant danger to others should be weeded out and not allowed to drive until they change. Most of all, when you move to another state you should be trained in that state's rules...or better yet...standardize all states' traffic laws.

Obviously never lived in SoCal! There are tons of them there. At least here, its the same 5 lawyers. Glenn Lerner is the way to go, call 877-1500. That jingle comes to mind when I hear of lawyers.

Well that small town in Kansas will be glad to have you back. As for me, this is far from the worst city I have lived in. Try the East Coast buddy.
