What cracks me up are folks who use the car pool lane, and they are going slower than the traffic in the other lanes, LOL. Kinda defeats the purpose of the carpool lane...

So if you are breaking the law, I have to get out of your way?? Why don't you just pass on the right........oh that would be breaking the law

You are right - in NJ (at least Central and Northern) NO ONE drives the speed limit unless it is rush hour traffic - even then they push as much as they can

I just rode up 287 on my motorcycle and observed, just keeping the flow with the cars around me I was doing between 84 and 88 miles an hour - this was between exits 30 and 36 at roughly 1:30pm for anyone that cares.

Anyone that does a decent amount of driving in NJ is kidding themselves if they believe that either they or others do the posted limit.

Skipping the Turnpike, GSP, 287, 78 etc and just focusing on the regular roads posted 35, 40 or 45 - on these roads to the standard seems to be 50mph..... anyone in NJ pay attention - it doesn't seem to matter the posted limit 50 is the going rate.

I live on 31 - right outside my house is a 35 zone..... Tractor Trailers, Trucks, Cars and motorcycles all rocket up and down the road at 50+

When I need to turn right in to my driveway I have to signal and begin slowing down way before my turn else get punted of the road by the arse behind me not caring that I LIVE THERE!!!

I have actually had many an arseh**** beep their horn at me because they had to slow down to let me turn.

NJ is full of aggressive, fast paced drivers - not I am not saying everyone in NJ is - but the state has plenty

Thanks

Impeding the flow of trafic is another violation. One person's breaking the law doesn't justify another's.

In open roadway situations I fully support keep right except to pass.

Not sure how it works out west, but the car pool lanes I worked with out East, you didn't have any place to go to get out of the way untill the next release from the lane, usualy a couple of miles away. If the speed limit is 65 in the carpool lane and it's one lane, is it resonable to expect it is going to be going 65. If you are going 65 are you impeding trafic.

impeding the flow that is already breaking the law. Like you said 2 wrongs don't make a right.

You leave me completely confused, orangandblack. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or mocking me.

[orngandblack]

that's cause i'm from jersey and we only care about getting from point a to point b and the hell with anybody that gets in our way, and then we wonder why we pay the highest insurance rates. lol
