10 Signs You Are A New Jersey Driver
Zachary Staines

New Jersey, the state that is always in a rush, but never has something THAT important to go to. Whether it is cursing your head off, honking your horn for the entirety of your drive, or even just yelling for the sake of yelling, because we all know the other car can't possibly hear us, a silent drive is never an option.

If you do any of the following, you are most definitely a New Jersey Driver.

1. Speed up and stop:

Speeding up and stopping just shy of someones tailpipe just so no one cuts you off, (even if you are sitting in dead stopped traffic).

2. Flipping the bird:

If you don't flip someone off at least once, then why are you even driving?

3. Cutting people off:

We hate when someone does it to us, but we just love doing it to other people (and signaling is optional, obviously).

4. The speed limit has no limit:

If it says 25, you're usually doing 40.

5. Our horn is sacred:

Sometimes we just honk because everyone else is or we just need another way of calling someone an idiot.

6. There is no such thing as a yellow light:

If it's yellow, it's basically green. Yellow doesn't mean slow down, it means speed up at the last possible second. If you stop at a yellow light, chances are you're getting rear-ended.

7. The left lane has its own speed limit:

The left lane is not for passing, it's for drivers who want to go over 70 miles per hour, and if you go under 70, chances are you're getting flipped off or cursed out.

8. Constantly reassuring yourself that YOU are the best driver:

Everyone else are amateurs when you're on the road, you are the only one who knows how to drive.

9. You hate being the passenger:

If you're not driving, you are panicking. Everyone else's driving puts you on edge, or you just like being in control.

10. We loathe out of state drivers:

Anyone who's not from Jersey follows the speed limit and are polite drivers, and we can not stand it. If you're from out of state chances are you will be cut off and avoided at all costs.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
