Worst New Jersey Driving Habits

When it comes to bad driving moves on the road, no one tops us here in the Garden State. We corner the market on bad , and annoying, driving habits.

You could list 5 a day for two months and still not cover all the incredibly unbelievable things we see on New Jersey roads. Today we focus on some of the rude moves that we see each day, and we give those moves names.

The Mirror Checker. This driver hops into the left lane, drops to 15 mph below the speed limit and then watches you getting frustrated behind them in their rear view mirror. They peer at you as if saying, "What are you going to do now"? You don't want to deal with it so you get out of the lane, and as soon as you do, they speed up. Which leads us to the next category...

The Speed Matcher. They drive slow. They hit the brakes for no reason. The drive 20 mph under the speed limit, and they usually are lost. But don't try to pass them. The minute they see you try, they speed up to your exact speed. They are the ones causing havoc on the roads, but they're insulted when you want to pass them.

The Nicest Person On Earth. This person is the opposite of the typical bad New Jersey driver, who thinks only of himself or herself. The Nicest Person on Earth lets EVERYBODY go. This driver waves on every car coming out of a strip mall, restaurant or side street. I hope the rest of us don't have somewhere to be.

If you are one of these type of drivers, I urge you to reconsider your ways. Please think about approaching your ride a little differently today. Then again, if you're not one of these drivers you're probably not from here.

On the other hand, here's some good news about New Jersey drivers. According to USA Today, New Jersey doesn't even rank in the top 10 nationally for bad drivers.
