I can share three stories, all of them naturally taking place in New Jersey.
- In the middle of a heavy snowstorm, when the plows weren't able to keep up and the snow on the roads was several inches thick, I was trying to get my car up a steep hill in order to deliver pizzas. While I'm struggling to keep my front-wheel-drive car going straight, some idiot in a four-wheeled cruise ship goes plowing past me- driving in the wrong lane- at speeds well over 40 miles per hour. And he had the gall to shoot me a dirty look for "being in his way" as he did so.
- I once saw a woman plow through a red light at an intersection (it'd been red for at least fifteen seconds, so it wasn't like she just missed beating it), almost hit opposing traffic and then slam into the curb of the far corner hard enough to literally fold her car in the middle.
- On a merge lane into a major highway, one woman decided that, rather than accelerate and carefully slide into existing traffic, she'd instead come to a complete stop. Naturally she held up everyone behind her for more than a full minute.
