Quoted: \ By the way, I'm looking forward to the drive. Driving on I-80 through Jersey is one of the more fun things I've done. Five lanes and no one has any lane discipline and if you're not going 80 mph you get squashed. BRING IT ON!

Chriiiist, not another up-stater doing 10 under the limit on one of the biggest goddamn arteries in the country.. If you can't work out the road politics, take the damn train!
(I'm off E-27, drive 80 to and from work every day. Hell, I LIKE it, but the DC Beltway is faaaaar worse!)
Cardinal rules for NJ Interstates:
1) Stay outta the left lane unless you're running ZR rated tires.
2) "Brake checks" for tailgaters are ineffective. Throw rocks.
3) Turn signals aren't a question, they're a statement. An immediate one.
4) "Safe following distance" is never more than a car length.
5) Nobody here understands why Dale Earnhardt was called "The Intimidator", our moms drive like that.
6) The NJSP are not in the business of handing out warnings. Uniforms that ugly would make you cranky too.
7) Relax, otherwise you'll just die tense.
8) Any reason is a good reason for a traffic jam, including the emergence of that big fiery thing in the AM.
9) Taking 30 minutes to get into either tunnel is not "traffic".
10) Drivers with NY plates are "the enemy".
Have no fear though, state trauma and burn centers are an easy 5 minute Northstar flight away. Have a good trip!
