Vegas car insurance is insane, but I think we focus on the wrong things.

Every day I see people blatantly run red lights, weave through traffic, and drive like idiots. Add DUI to that in a 24-hour drinking city, and surely these should be bigger enforcement priorities.

Meanwhile, I regularly see cops running speed enforcement on wide, divided roads with relatively low limits. Sometimes it feels more like a speed tax than targeting genuinely dangerous driving.

I have a kid. If police resources are limited, I’d rather see cops around schools at drop-off/pickup, catching speeders there, or red-light runners, reckless drivers, and aggressively targeting DUI.

We also need to manage traffic better. Sitting through three light cycles while the other direction is empty creates congestion and frustration. Houston has tested adaptive AI traffic signals and reportedly reduced delays by around 15% during congestion. Why aren’t we doing more of that here?

And no, I’m not advocating for more Flock-style surveillance.

Would better traffic management and targeting genuinely dangerous driving make Vegas roads safer — and maybe eventually bring our ridiculous insurance rates down?

I’m hoping someone who flies Virgin Atlantic regularly can help me out.

Earlier this week I flew from London Heathrow (LHR) to Las Vegas (LAS) and needed to work during the flight, so I purchased the £29.99 Unlimited Streaming Wi-Fi package.
About two hours into the flight, my internet completely stopped working. My laptop and phone both showed they were connected, but no pages would load. The strange part was that everyone around me seemed to still have working internet.

When I contacted Virgin after the flight, they told me their records showed my device had used up all of its data. I explained that I’d specifically purchased the unlimited package, so there shouldn’t have been any data cap. Despite sending screenshots showing pages failing to load, they simply repeated that their system showed my device had used all the data and said they couldn’t help further.
At this point I’m disputing the charge with my credit card company, but they want evidence of what I actually purchased.

Would anyone be able to send me a screenshot of the Virgin Atlantic in-flight Wi-Fi purchase page showing the £29.99 Unlimited Streaming option (or whatever it’s currently called) that makes it clear it’s unlimited?
I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Does anyone have ladder recommendations for reaching the roof bars/box?

I have an Octa with steps, but it’s still a stretch to get things in and out of the roof box.

I am not looking to have anything permanently fixed so something collapsible that I can store in the trunk.

I bought the Thule van ladder with the magnetic holder, but of course, the roof is aluminum and so not magnetic. 🤦🏻‍♂️
