There is a common myth that New Jersey is home to the worst drivers in America. This statement is quite false - people just do not know how to drive when they are within the borders of our great state. There are several distinct signs that you have the characteristics of a New Jersey driver.

1. You read speed limit signs as 20 MPH more than they actually say.

For a majority of the Garden State Parkway, the speed limit is 65 mph, but in reality, you drive around 85.

2. You get annoyed when someone is driving slow, meaning that they are driving the actual speed limit.

There is nothing worse than knowing that you have to be somewhere in about 10 minutes, but the person in front of you is driving like a snail. However, you look down at the speedometer and realize that they are driving 40 mph when the speed limit is, well, 40 mph. Oops.

3. You are an avid tailgater.

Those pesky slow drivers really upset you so you feel that it's necessary to scare them a little bit and drive right up their butt.

4. But you really get angry when someone tailgates you.

Excuse me, but the speed limit is 40 mph and I am driving 55...is this too slow for you? Get lost, buddy.

5. You have THE WORST road rage.

Did someone cut you off? Give them the finger. Is the light green and the person in front of you isn't moving? Honk your horn and utilize your vulgar language. Did that person change lanes and almost hit you? Roll down the window and have a nice conversation by cursing and screaming at them.

6. You believe that yellow lights have the same meaning as green ones.

The light just turned yellow...time to floor it and go!

7. Speed bumps do not exist to you.

I mean, you know that they are there, but it's more fun to not slow down and just go flying over it...because why not?

8. Four-way stops are the worst.

You never know who got there first, or who is supposed to make their turn next. These traps are basically just a trigger for your road rage.

9. You want to jump out of your car window when someone from another state drives slow in the left lane of the highway.

The. Left. Lane. Is. For. Driving. Fast. Get. Out. Of. The. Left. Lane. If. You. Are. Driving. The. Speed. Limit. Or. Less. Especially you Pennsylvania drivers, you guys are actually the worst...no offense, pals.

10. You think that your driving skills are superior to everyone else's.

Honestly, this is true. All of the other states are not as fast-paced as New Jersey and need to get on our level. So stop hating on us NJ drivers and start learning how to be decent drivers.
