No offense but NJ and NY drivers are the shittiest drivers. I've driven there many times and it's a chore.

Seems like everytime I've driven on the NJ pike I've seen a gruesome accident.

NYC drivers suck but other than that NY drivers are the most aware and least agressive that ive seen.

that sucks sooo bad. people just doing their jobs. looks like agressive driving.

i was driving on the baltimore loop near OP's one time and got stuck in horrible traffic. turns out a van went into into a freightliner and flipped. all i saw was the ambulance pulling two bodybags out of the van and a lot of blood. the truck was still smoking so it was really quite recent.

who would have thought traffic jam would cause something like that...

What's the difference between NY & NYC?

EDIT*: Don't worry about it... just re-read & my slow-ass brain has understood what you meant.

yeah, but NYS is completely different than NYC and Long Island.

Drivers suck down here too. Theyre constantly getting into riduculous accidents and causing entire multi lane highways to close for hours, forcing rush hour traffic onto side streets and leaving almost the entire island paralyzed. On the 21st there was apparently a huge accident during rush hour. I never saw it, never went near it, yet it effected me because I had to take a taxi to the train station. Whats normally a 10 minute drive max turned into a 30 minute expedition through side streets, trying to get around stopped traffic everywhere, stopped traffic miles away from the accident. Then because many people heard about the accident before they left for work, they all also went to the trains, thus making my train 15 minutes late. Finally I get to the airport and guess what, I almost missed my plane by literally 2 or 3 minutes. All because of idiot drivers getting into stupid accidents. If I had $1 for every time I was late to work because of rubbernecking, I'd be rich.
