It's Sunday and I haven't done any driving today. I have however contemplated the idea of driving in Las Vegas and what it means. What defines driving and drivers in Las Vegas?

Vegas is an interesting mix of the aggressive and the cautious driver. And maybe this is no different than any place else, and maybe very similar to places where you find retirement communities. Old drivers, of course, represent the cautious element; slow, deliberate, goal-driven drivers. And then you have those out there who just don't seem to care about you or themselves for that matter; unlawfully fast, cellphone-using, maniacal drivers. It's a place where driving the speed limit is optional and possibly not safe because everyone else is paced at 5-25 miles an hour faster. It's a place where a yellow light means speed up and make it through the intersection at any cost. Mind you, I won't claim to be guiltless here.

May Karl Benz have mercy on us all.
