New Regulations in the New Jersey Registry of Motor Vehicle's Handbook:

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident New Jersey driver avoids using them.

2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by someone else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less chance you have of getting hit.

4. WARNING! Never come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in your being rear-ended.

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork, especially with PA, NY or Del plates. With no insurance, the other operator probably has nothing to lose.

6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous foot massage as the brake pedal violently pulsates.For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to strengthen your leg muscles.

7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to prepare other drivers entering the highway.

8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are not enforceable in New Jersey during rush hour.

9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a New York driver flashing his high beams behind you can go faster in your spot.

10. Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.

11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. New Jersey is the home of high-speed slalom-driving thanks to the Department of Public Works, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them alert.

12. It is the tradition in New Jersey to honk your horn at cars in front of you that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.

13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or rollover, it is important you exit your vehicle through the windshield right away. Wearing your seat-belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.

14. Remember that the goal of every New Jersey driver is to get ahead of the pack by whatever means necessary.

15. In New Jersey, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This gesture should always be returned.


Thank You,
The New Jersey Registry of Motor Vehicles

They have something like that for California. Most people dont know what 'bad driving' is until you are surrounded with people in BMW's and Mercedes and Lambo's and Ferarri's down on 5th in Beverly Hills.. omg its soo scary.

You jersey people suck... I think SG is the only one who doesn't have a complete shitheap for a car - reference to #5 on the list.


AND to clarify...
DE has the nicest roads and slowest drivers.
NJ has the worst drivers and mediocre roads.. but jughandles suck.
PA has to deal with DE drivers in the fast lane and we absolutely have the worst roads in the nation.

Going home all. Have a good weekend. Maybe I'll catch up with you late Sat or Sun.

At least my car runs and doesn't double as a two ton paper weight. I swear if Earl took a shit on my front lawn and you painted it bright red. I couldn't tell the difference between your crap and his :smokin: .

driving in philly makes me crazy because every street is a one-way in the opposite direction....makes for great fun when lost.

it's not state-specific, it's everywhere you go, so don't point the finger at anyone else until you look at your own hometown.

It's when they head for the walls with a marker that you have to worry. It wouldn't be so bad if they could draw a good camaro though.

Well Jim, I am not sure the intelligents of the average person from where your from but usually when you tell someone they suck and there car is a piece of shit, You would think maybe they would take offense to it. Another words STFU!!! :rolleyes:

Ummmmmm.... John, I'll leave those alone.:eek7: :lol2: :lol: :rofl:

AND.... I sort of did take offense to it (in a humorous sort of way) which prompted my first post. HENCE the reference to #5 on SG's list. :screwy: :disappoin

Take offense to what?. Did I say something about you ? and you should think before you insult a large group of people cause one persons posted offended you. Its a pretty small minded thing to do,

Earlsfat
10-25-2005, 03:46 PM
#5 said something that boils down to anyone with a NON-JERSEY car that's.... well lets just stay with the theme and say shitheap, should be avoided because they are crappy drivers and have no insurance.

In response I intimated the line and said whatever the hell I said. Intended to be a joke, but missed.

Oh well. This thread needs to die... it has lost it's comedic value and is on the verge of causing vast confusion and dissention among the rank and file.

And for the record... RARELY if ever, have I or do I intend to offend anyone. (Except 88Rex and DiabloGT.) To the contrary I'm usually the one that jumps on those type of posts if you go back and check. Ask Erik.

Well regardless thats what you did there and your right about this thread being done.
