I completely avoid the strip, so I encounter almost no bad drivers; certainly not enough to categorize, even if I knew their group affinity. Thanks, strip, for attracting all the idiots.

Yes. I see the problem.
You run the risk of causing an accident.
Why can't you see it?

Yes I run the risk of causing an accident if I do it your way. I'm really shocked that you just don't get it. You seem very intelligent, but yet you can't seem to grasp this.

This is what I am saying. You wait your turn at the light. Not in the middle of the intersection.

So you wait at the line and the oncoming traffic never stops. Finally the light is turning red and you go? Of course you have the cross traffic that has already entered the intersection and you are an accident waiting to happen. And you believe this is good?

Nah. If it never clears, just keep waiting patiently. It might take a few minutes. Eventually, it will be safe to turn.

Then...If the guy behind you honks and flips you off, turn off the car, open the hood and look at the engine for a few minutes. If he yells at you, point to the engine and shrug. No hurry in Vegas.

I pull out in the intersection to turn left. That is how we do it in New Jersey. I wait and wait until the light turns yellow. Then I get ready to make my move. What pisses me off is when the oncoming cars run the red light leaving me hanging out in the middle of the intersection.

I have been driving for over 40 years- never had or been in an accident. During that time I have found that women drivers are the worst, hands down, in Vegas or anywhere. Their priorities seem to be 1) putting on lipstick, 2) and/or makeup, and 3) talking on the cell phone. The worst car wrecks on record are proven to have been caused by women, who many times don't even realize that their driving has caused an accident. I keep a keen eye on all women drivers and give them plenty of room when I am driving. You (and they) never know where they are going. Men, be careful when driving, you never know when their ineptitude behind the wheel will strike next.
