I agree, the drivers here are very rude and inconsiderate... They will cut you off and then slow down in front of you, forcing you to slam on your breaks or rear end them. Has anyone else noticed the intersections with the faded lines for the lanes? watch the people that make left hand turns! I am tempted to stand at say... the corner of Virginia and Plumb and record people making left hand turns and then post it on you tube and link it! You will be shocked at how hard it is for Reno drivers to stay in there own lane while making a left hand turn!

Lots of people say that these bad drivers are everywhere but when I was living in Omaha everyone seemed to drive the same speed, people stay in their lanes and were courteous enough not to cut you off... Also in Omaha the streets are wider so all this backed up traffic didn't happen... Its a city of over 400,000 and a metro of almost a million and I could get anywhere in 20 minutes... try doing that in Reno!

It sounds like as a New Yorker I will feel right at home driving in Reno. On the highways here if someone is driving slow in front of you in the left hand lane and you honk them or flash your lights they give you the finger and drive even slower. I live in a small town and people here feel that stop signs are optional.

I agree about the drivers in Reno. At first, I thought it was me flying along and not moving over; but, the second trip, I signalled and signalled to move over. They seemed
blind. Must be all that sun or lack of son.
I lived in Boulder City and worked at Henderson outside of Las Vegas for a decade and never had this problem, nor do I have a problem when I visit Vegas and drive an econmomy rental.

I second your evaluation of drivers,
