There’s a study on the correlation between car cost and assholery.

This. The only reason I can tolerate the driving here is because I used to live in Miami which somehow managed to be worse. A lot worse. But it's a lot of the same asshole behavior. The only difference is that in Jersey you actually can get pulled over and people here at least understand the concept of street legal vehicles and sidewalks aren't for cars whereas South Florida was a total free for all. But go figure half the people down there are from Jersey.

Exactly, they're for motorized scooters and bicycles going 20+mph when there's a fucking bike lane two feet to the side.

No doubt. In jersey all such differences seem moot. If it’s not a eurotrash mobile, it’s an overwrought pickup “truck,” or a too tall suv. Somethinga getchya.

I've noticed that BMW drivers are totally the worst.

It’s not entirely their fault. The bmw turn singles suck and it’s hard to tell when your turn signal is activated, it’s also really hard to see out of them.
