Larger ships do strike.

The latest mammal standings have not been confirmed as ship strikes. Important to get the facts right.

Most of the sub-100’ boats you’d find in Belmar do not hit marine mammals, as a collision would be catastrophic for the vessel, operators keep a lookout and have the ability to dodge.

People started driving extra crazy during the pandemic, and unfortunately it hasn’t stopped. I wonder if maybe this has something to do with people that got their licenses around that time, and were able to drive the first year or two without any consequences? Particularly because IMO, traffic enforcement hasn’t seemed to have returned to pre-pandemic levels. It seems to me you’re able to get away with driving like a dick much more easily, and the result of that is, many more people driving like dicks.

Since we're all entitled to our opinions, in my 1 year of living and driving in Jersey, NJ drivers DO NOT know basic driving maneuvers. No skill, impatient like honking at me to turn while ongoing traffic is heavy. I think its because you guys have the option* of completing a fake road test with cones in a parking lot.

Dumbass ny plate argument is such a deflection
