New Jersey: the land of traffic, the beach, and drivers who don't care about anyone else but themselves. Here's just a few thoughts everyone has while driving in New Jersey!
1) I wonder how other people do it... pumping their own gas...
I have never once touched a gas pump and I never intend to. Ahh, New Jersey.

2) Stay, stay, I did NOT tell you that you could go!
I do this 100% of the time while driving. I always know when someone's getting the bright idea of turning out in front of me and I just think, 'Not today, sweetheart, you can stay right there!'

3) How do you not see me?! I'm BRIGHT. RED.
I say this all the time. Anyone who knows me knows this is my go to scream-phrase. My car is candy apple red.

4) There's a cop up there, which means everyone needs to slow down and stare at the lights!
Always. Always. I get you all want to see what's happening, but it's probably some idiot getting a ticket. Nothing fascinating, now MOVE, some of us have places to be and people to see.

5) Okay, those police lights are seriously blinding though.
They need to do something about this, especially at night. I can just about see the road, let alone if a cop decides to hop in front of my truck.

6) Oh my god, the sun! I'm blind!
No matter the time of day, the sun always manages to be in my eyes while driving, and the visor certainly does not help us short people one bit.

8) How do I get there? Google Maps! I wonder what people did before GPS..
My GPS knows how to get me there in one piece, how to reroute me because I always miss my turns. The machine always knows!! I trust the machine.
