If they tailgate all I do Is slow down (not brake check) and washers on. No time for primitive brains
If they're not happy 10-15mph over the speed limit then I go the speed limit. Not endangering my life or anyone elses for uneducated morons

There's a pandemic of mental illness after the last few years and many are feeling their illness manifest. Darkness ahead friends

Just got the letter. If my calculations are correct, the leaked data goes back over a decade (or is a segment of data from then).

No, it is a women’s body and she has the right to choose. Not me, not the government.

It’s always a New York plate in left lane. When you pass them on the right and make eye contact they are so clueless why you are so pissed lol

Reply to Whale deaths exploited in 'cynical disinformation' campaign against offshore wind power, advocates say by hypoboxer
Why is the GQP so concerned about whales all of a sudden? The last time we had a whale on the beach, he only got 7% in NH.

I think it is a two-front attack: stop offshore wind generation for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry today while at the same time devaluing environmentalist objections to industry in the future.

I think it might be more due to the state motto of "mind your own damn business".

Reply to comment by Knobbies4Ever in Where are some good rail trails near train stations? by abelEngineer
Came to say Columbia Trail as others have mentioned. It starts in High Bridge close to the train station there.

People from out of the area will always be bad drivers, anywhere you go. Driving conditions are unique everywhere, and adapting to them can be difficult.
Drivers from the city in general are terrible at driving on highways. They don't understand what the left lane is for, seemingly have no problem driving in the middle lane 15 mph slower than everyone else, watching cars blow by on either side while everyone else behind them is trying to get around. Cars will drive the same speed next to each other for some inexplicable reason, slowing down traffic for the entire road. I live in Philly, and driving 76 and 95 is a nightmare aside from the congestion.
At the same time, suburban drivers have no idea how to handle the city. Jersey plates are often the ones holding up 4 way stops, crawling along busy streets looking for parking, making 4 or 5 attempts to parallel while traffic builds up behind them.
California and Connecticut are probably the two worst places I've ever driven.

There should be no place on the Jersey Shore from which you can't see a windmill.

Not too far from the Madison train station is the Loantaka Brook reservation. Not too long of a trail but I always used to love to ride my bike on it. There’s also the trail directly next to the train station that leads straight towards morristown. Used to love riding both of them on a super long trip when I went to school there.

Reply to Cheap rental + Good School Zone by Slow_Creme_213
I mean if you meant anywhere in NJ, I know of some affordable rentals in SJ. If not, you may want to check the sub for a state you want to move to.

Nah I believe the people who drive like this are responsible for themselves. They don’t deserve a scapegoat!

Manners, respect for others and the law, common courtesy, it all leads to Trump when you look at who acts like this. You’d be hard pressed to find Bernie Sanders fans who rig their rice burner to sound like a machine gun.

Everyone I talk to is saying it’s because we switched from wind powered ships to the spinning blades under water powered ships.

It’s a modification to an exhaust pipe
Edit: …and to other parts of the car of course. I always knew the term “Ricer” was racist. That’s the bad word. Rice burner refers to the car! Downvote all you want I’m just trying to explain something!

It’s true I was making a generalization about the overall downfall of basic decency in our culture. These people are selfish entitled bullies and they are getting worse because even the adults in charge don’t know the basic laws of humanity.
