I'm with you on all of these Doc. Welcome to New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteDoc,
ReplyDeleteYou have covered the list quite well. I see too many of the traffic incidents you've mentioned. Can't fight it so I move out of the way!
Makes you kinda wish you had a 007 car with rocket launchers, oil slick and smoke capabilities!
ReplyDeleteGlad someone other than me finds the traffic violations are out-of-control. So many self-centered drivers. I never experienced this behavior 5 years ago. I was stopped for a red light on Woodland Ave and E 7th, right by the Maxon school.I awaited 'green'to go straight. The person BEHIND me drove into the oncoming lane, went around me,through the red light and made a right. That's a right on red, but going left first..around the car in front of you. Where are the cops? We'd have lots of legitimate traffic ticket revenue, and safer streets.
ReplyDelete10:27 I have that happen to me more than once.Sometime just as the light is changing to green.
