When I identify the tailgater behind me, it invariably is a New Jersey driver

What's known as Tailgating in other states is considered adequate separation in NJ. /sarcasm/

Actually, if you leave 2 seconds between cars in NJ, someone will take up the extra room. Standard separation in NJ is 2 car lengths under 60 mph
/not sarcasm/

You can always tell a NJ driver in NYC without looking at the license plate: they're the ones aggressively nosing their way into the pedestrians crossing the street, whereas everyone else observes the "Pedestrians Have Right of Way" rule.

That's when they're not turning right on a red light (illegal in NYC).
