New Jersey...it figures. I hate driving in New Jersey because of all the insane drivers. I don't know what it is about New Jersey that makes them so crazy, but there...I said it.

Honestly there are some crazy drivers in NJ I have been driving here for 12 years and every year its worse. I think its actually New Yorkers moving south. The left lane is for passing not going slower than the middle and right lane. If everyone is lgoing around you to the right your in the wrong lane. Also if I am all of a sudden up your ass because your going less than the speed limit don't slam your brakes it makes it worse. I have contemplated just rearending people who purposely slam there brakes on me just to prove the point to them. I would even tell the cop and insurance. Driver was being a dick and slaming on the brakes.

BTW when I say up their ass I'm not tailgating.

And if it wasn't for all you outta state drivers screwing up our fast paced finger flippin commuting we'd be just fine! Like seriously ppl can't read signs ALL TURNS HERE ---> This means u can't just stop in the middle of the fast lane to make an illegal left because u can't read! The signs are quite large and noticeable.... And another thing what's so hard about driving around circles people? Its not hard if u miss ur turn just go back around lol

And ppl talk about Jersey drivers... As far as we're concerned, us Jersey drivers are the best on the road! :thumbup:

Wild. I go rear ended Jan 31 by almost the same Honda. I was about to kill someone when I got out of my car. But I cant find any damage to my tailgate. I told the insurance I was going to get it checked out.

Wow, I am not alone! I would show this to one who like to buy Hondas's, absolutely no resistance to the damage while minor impact. One less mo..on out of the roads!

Nothing really wrong with honda. The hood took most of the damage and the bumper didn't go back hardly. Did what it was designed to do. You don't wang a vehicle to full resistance. Will do more damage to YOU and your passengers. There is a balance car manufacturers go for.

You can do almost the same damage by leaning against the hood area of the Honda. Glad you're okay. Years ago I was using a Neon for my work commute and got rear-ended by a Dodge Ram at a stop light. Very little speed - basically, he saw the light turn green and stepped on the gas, oblivious to the fact that there was a little yellow car in front of him that hadn't moved yet. Wasn't even enough to properly slam my head back against the headrest.

Result of the accident? $3000 worth of damage to my Neon and $0 to the truck. The bumper and front recovery hook crumpled my trunk, quarter panels, lights, and rear bumper cover and didn't even scratch his chrome bumper. If the Neon hadn't been so new, I'm sure the insurance company would have totaled it.

That being said, I'm pretty sure that if it had been a more stout vehicle that made contact, you'd have plenty of damage of your own to report. Fortunately it wasn't.


Oh, and as far as everyone complaining about how bad the drivers are from NY, NJ, PA, etc...: I don't want to hear it - exactly where do you think they all flock to for most of the winter? Let me give you a hint - it rhymes with Phlorida.
