The minivans are probably the one I get stuck behind the most; a lot of times its some lady on cell phone or just someone who can't drive worth a shit. I get stuck behind dump trucks and semis a lot too.

1. Minivans
2. older Chevy Blazers
3. stupid ricer kids w/ fart cans (various types of cars from kias to hondas)
4. Old people in older Buicks/Cadillacs
5. Anyone w/ a plate from WV or OH

Sorry I didn't really go into specific cars, but these are my most common encounters on a daily basis.

really?

I agree with minivans, but what I hate and I really mean HATE is getting stuck behind a big-ass SUV or truck and that happens quite often here.

You can't see shit past these motherf***ing tanks. They're like a death trap on the highway.

I think anyone who sees themselve in need of a Ford Excursion or Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, GMC Yukon or a car in that class has serious problems.

I always get stuck behind a grand marquis or crown vic being piloted by some geriatric fool who probably couldn't drive when they were younger, but now is just a disaster waiting to happen. I can tell I'm behind one when you can't see a head in the car, just wrinkly knuckles clutching the steering wheel for dear life.

It's the driver not the vehicle. I rarely do less than 75-80 on the NJTPK when I'm in the Sienna.

Old people with hats

Couldn't agree more. Those fuckers have no clue how to drive on NJ roads. Everytime I'm caught behind a vehicle on the NJTPK it's either from:

NY
VA
MD
PA

I guess the DE drivers know to stay the fuck outta our state.

LOL You ever notice how NY drivers and NJ drivers cant stand each other when it comes to driving, but the only ppl who actually complain are the aggressive speedsters (myself)who drive the same way? hahaha. I have FL plates, so ppl expect me to drive like I have all the time in the world and then look like this when I pass them in the blink of an eye.

....and you are probably the atypical NY motorist who drives too slow in the left lane of NJ highways.

Back on topic:

1) Toyota Camrys
2) Non WRX/LGT Subarus
3) Corvettes (Fast cars that seem to be driven by people determined to go as slow as possible)
4) Toyota Prii
5) Any large SUV (typically a Suburban driven by a 4' tall soccer mom who insists on using their hand held cell phone while driving)

Definitely agree with ya on the New Yorkers... It doesn't matter where, but anytime I'm stuck behind someone 9/10 times its a New Yorker...actually it has gotten worse near parkway exits 140ish to 163ish.... I don't know what it is...

another thought: I always get stuck in "Tim Horton's" traffic which is a line around this god damn coffee shop (drive thru) that snakes out into the main road causing backups at the traffic signals in my town. You'd think they were the only ones who sell coffee.

Soccer mom's in my town never drive mini-vans, at least the "cool" ones. They all have various gas guzzlers. They are absolutely insane drivers-either in such a rush to get to soccer practice they run you off the road, or are too busy screaming at Little Billy in the backseat and go 15 mph under. If we want to add states, add in PA drivers for not realizing in every state surrounding PA, we have laws about staying right and passing left.

2-5) cars with New York plates. It's like they want to give the left lane a blow job. They never leave it and *always* do 10 under the limit.

and If highways are referred to as arteries then NY drivers can be referred to as LDL (bad cholesterol).

I have traveled from NJ to Florida via I95 on several occassions and it is almost ALWAYS a NY tagged car that holds up the traffic. (Sidenote: I have noticed that Va drivers have a similar characteristic except they ONLY do it in Virginia.)
