It's like a pinch on the butt.

Whiting as in Ocean County Whiting? I grew up around that area and would be a bit surprised to find a used book store there.

I had one dude sit at a light after it turned green, so I honked after a couple of seconds. He still sat. Other people honked, he still sat. Light turned yellow, he still sat. Light turned red, he still sat. When the light turned green again everyone in line honked in unison, and he finally moved.
My car chimes when the light turns green so you can't miss it.

I'm gonna agree with this. If you do get a chance, go there. They beat the pandemic and are doing well.

Are they actually opened? Google seems to suggest they're still closed and they facebook says the same.

Reply to Is RealID a replacement for State ID/License? by skhope
A non citizen can get a drivers license. Only a citizen can get a real ID. It will be (in a few years) needed for domestic air travel. A regular driver’s license will no longer suffice. Or you will need a passport. However if you plan on moving to a new state you will need to go through the real ID process in the new state. It is not automatically given. Also, you need a lot of info. Expect to be sent home at least once. Demand a slip that says you can come back in thirty days. It is a monumental PITA.

It's downstairs right? I could have sworn that they have only new.

I just checked to see if I can go to it the next time I was down there. I think they don't have a physical store anymore. It looks like it just directs you to someone's house. The Asbury Book Co-op is very active and opened.

That’s the one! Great breakfast and reasonably priced. I haven’t been to Meadlowlands, but we live closer to Candlewyck, so we’ve been there a bunch of times.

I feel your pain on this one, this plus lower back and knee issues are why I can't drive a manual car in NJ anymore.

I always think of it this way: if I'm the first car waiting at a red light, it's my job to be the most alert and quick to move when it turns green. If I'm the second car in line, it's my job to give a little "wake up" honk if the car in front of me doesn't start going within a second or two of the green light.

Ditto what this guy said, absolutely no need for a lawyer for traffic stuff. The judge/prosecutor already know what they'll plead down too.
Likely it'll be unsafe driving, which is a steep fine but no points.

As others have said, Real ID just enhances your driver license. It means you can use it instead of a passport to get on planes, etc.

Oh, that's The Blob diner, right? I used to live right near there...never went. Usually went to the Candlewyck or the Meadowlands.

Your driver's license will be real id certified but will still be your driver's license.

Favorite - turnpike during off hours. Least favorite - 17 at anytime. Honorable mention the parkway because it gets me to the shore 🙃

I’m fine with a fine if I can avoid points, I did some research and a defensive driving course will drop 2 points and I’m looking around for potential lawyers
