Folks really need to learn how to drive and take their foot off the gas once in awhile. Merging is not a contact sport, folks coming on to the freeway need to yield to the faster traffic. It's the law. Take your foot off the gas and merge.

And what is with cutting folks off, slamming brakes on just to turn right!!! Driving is not a right and everyone needs to understand this privilege can be taken away. This is not a contest to a finish line but commutes of human beings to work and home. There are loved ones expecting them to make these commutes safely.

The police need to learn these laws as well and then actually enforce them. Example: The officer blaring their horn at the vehicle in front of them at a red light. Because they didn't want to make a right on RED (it is the driver's prerogative to turn into traffic or not on a red). I don't want other folks to tell me how to run my life and put me in danger. When they feel comfortable turning into speeding traffic then they complete their turn. That law is standard throughout the country.

I've been on the phone twice with 911 regarding road rage because I would not turn right on a red light.

Don't the folks making the U-turn at a Green light (when it's posted) have the right of way?!? I've seen too many times drivers are impatient and have to make their own right hand turn on RED and t-bone the driver making a lawful u-turn.

Street vehicles are NOT bumper cars. I'm tired of this crap-shoot of whether I'll make to work or not! I know this is Vegas but gambling needs to stay in the casinos.

This intimidation driving style needs to stop and the first group that should put a halt to it are the parents of young drivers and the second group needs to be the police force and the state of Nevada. Hand out tickets to drivers that put other drivers in danger before an accident happens.

It should be a law that EVERYONE moving into the area is required to take a driving test, written and driven before they receive their license from the state of Nevada, and PASS these tests. There are too many that do drive illegally and the State seems to look the other way.
