Well, as one who has driven in New Jersey, you know that hornblowing is another skillset that has to be acquired.

There are rules, you know!!

It took a few months of acclimation, but folks here are patient with you, and more often than not, will stop to allow you to turn left if there is traffice.

People here also wave a lot, whether or not they even know you. It is the neighborly thing to do.

Now you KNOW that is not allowed in NJ!!!!

You got that right. You wave at someone while driving and you take your life in your hands. My Dad almost got beat up once for waving. The other guy thought he was being flipped off. I had a friend in high school who got arrested and thrown in jail for waving at a cop with his open hand, fingers spread out. The cop thought he was thumbing his nose at him. The rule in the Jerz definitely is, keep your hands down while driving.

Sounds like the folks in DE are a bit more genteel in their driving habits. Must be the "rural" environment.
