What is it with people in New Jersey and the weather? Every time it snows or rains the stupidity of people comes out. I was driving on the Garden State Parkway south in Monmouth county this morning when the snow started. It was about 6:30 or so and not much traffic. The snow was coming down fairly hard and the roads had a light dusting on them. In fact it was blowing around from the traffic. I can't tell you how many morons I came up on doing 40 MPH in the middle lane. What the f*$k is that!! The right lane is for driving slow. Besides, there was no reason to drive that slow at all.
Sure, there were trucks out sanding so I slowed down around them but otherwise the conditions were fine for 65 MPH; the speed limit.The only thing worse is when these people do that in the fast lane. If you are too afraid to drive in inclement weather, take a bus, train or call a cab. Or better yet, stay home.
The other thing I see all the time is cars that are covered in snow except for a spot on the wind shield. I guess these people are in too much of a hurry to clean off the snow and/or ice. I wonder what they would do if ice flew off their car and it damaged another car. Or if it hurts or God forbid kills someone. I don't understand it. Get up 15 minutes earlier and clean off your car!!!!

Dude - when we first moved down by DC I would joke that if you threw anything but a sunny day at the people around here they would freak out and drive like idiots. Then came the day where traffic was so bad my car did not move, literally, for 3 minutes. The cause of this traffic...'sunshine delays'. Yep, there was traffic because the sun was out...wtf?
