Good advice for my fellow Jersey drivers

[moonwise]

After spending a good deal of time yesterday on Routes 287, 78, and 80 in New Jersey, I have the following announcement:


IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE GAS PEDAL, GET OFF OF MY ROAD.


And let's not forget the Click and Clack (the Tappet brothers') rule, which is:

DRIVE NOW, TALK LATER.

Corollary:

MAYBE YOU'D DRIVE BETTER WITH THAT CELL PHONE UP YOUR KEISTER.

This has been a public service announcement from Arafel.

I love listening to the Car Talk guys. :)

They're a stitch, aren't they? I love it when they get themselves so worked up laughing that they can barely talk. "Stump the Chumps!"

I sent in a puzzler one time, but I guess it wasn't up to Car Talk standards... Is that possible? heh heh.

Although I don't have a car, I can relate to the cell phone bit. A great majority of the bus drivers over here talk on cell phones while they're driving. :/

How frightening! It's bad enough when you have some moron weaving in and out of traffic yapping away; it's worse when that moron has a busload of people s/he is putting at risk. Tide is turning though. New York just outlawed talking on handheld cell phones while driving. You can still talk; you just need some "hands-free" adapter.

Hmm... sounds to me you have the same need for your own lane as Hideto does.

I agree, the cell phone talking is a traffic hazard indeed. I think Norway has a law about hands free in cars, must use...
