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

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.

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.
