    This proves something I’ve believed for years. New Jersey drivers aren’t bad drivers. There’s a LOT of them. It’s crowded and horrible. But they’re good at what they do.

      We’re forged in fire. Not many people can handle driving across the GW into the Bronx and back in a day, but I’ve done it multiple times for my Yankees loving wife. I used to leave Hoboken at 5 in the morning to drive for 2 hours to my job. Jesus I don’t miss that. I remember one time my alternator died in a snow storm while I was getting onto the highway in Weehawken; I caused a huge traffic jam. Ended up getting into a shouting match with the cop that responded acting like I had decided it’d be a great time for my car to break down. Fuck that guy.

        Fucker, I knew it was you!

        But absolutely. Welcome to Rt22. It’s 50mph and your merge “lane” is five feet. The people behind you are angry. Aaaand go.

      I think it’s mostly because most roads have low speed limits. The other states have everyone driving like 90 everywhere. NJ is 40-55 in many roads (yeah I know people still drive really fast, but statistically the state has lower speed limits)
