Just to give you an idea of what driving in Caracas is like, here’s a video I found on youtube, mind you that the traffic is very light on this video, the roads usually look more like parking lots.

The driver is what’s known locally as a “Moto Taxi”, like the name implies, they are taxis but many are also thieves who rob you at gunpoint while you are inside your car in traffic, most of them drive like maniacs.
