I grew up on the Long Island expressway

Me too, then I moved upstate NY and now in Jersey. One thing about New Jersey is at least the drivers are some what competent here. 99% chance the slow poke blocking the left lane here has either New York or Pennsylvania plates.

New York Drivers suck. Bottom of the barrel. The worst are NY City and Long Island drivers, who on the Thurway drive 45 mph in the left lane with nobody in front of them. Oh and if you try and go around them on the right, then they will speed up and it becomes a race.

A close second are Virginia drivers, GAWD people, you live here, you know there's nothing around the curve, why do you slam your brakes at every slightest 1 or 2 degree change in direction of the road.

Atlanta drivers suck too, especially at left turn signals, instead of everyone moving in a reasonably spaced out line, the 1st guy goes, while the 2nd guy waits back at the light until the 1st guys makes it all the way, then the 2nd guy goes while the 3rd guy will again sit back waiting for him to make it all the way, then he goes and the forth, etc, etc. You can have a turn signal last 60 or more seconds but only 2 or 3 cars make it. Why? Why do you people do this? Go already..

Still not as crazy as Houston or Atlanta to me

It’s funny we always thought the Jersey drivers were wacky

I got down to the shore one Friday evening

I was amazed at the aggression. My uncle said it’s the business women mostly. Wacko drivers. Puttingg on makeup at 70 MPH

My cousin said the drivers on the garden state
“ya. They learn to drive in the arcade”
