Its estimated 40% of drivers in Philly/ South Jersey dont have insurance.

Years ago an oncoming driver fell asleep and crossed the center line on me coming to work. I swerved and beeped as I desperately swerved right into the curb. The guy woke up from the horn but as it was we passed drivers side to drivers side inches atart. I had a flat front tire and dammaged rim. He kept going! I went after him and forced him off the road is spite of the flat. Neighbors called the cops. The car didnt belong to the driver, he had no lisence, no registration, and only an expired insurance card.

They let him go!

You do NOT want to get in an accident here in SJ!

I have no interest in ever visiting the entire state of NJ.

NJ: plenty of water, not too cold in winter not too hot in summer, no tornadoes, no floods, no earthquakes, no forest fires, hurricanes not a problem if you dont live near the shore...

I may go without insurance when I retire!

Parts of NJ are quite pretty. However...."not too cold in winter"........perhaps compared to parts of New England or the Great Lakes states .

Right! I grew up in upstate Ny and just about every winter we had 2 weeks or a month where the thermometer never got above 0 degrees. To me SJ is like FL.

North Jersey is just like upstate NY and Freehold NJ is all million dollar horse farms. THey got more money in their fences than I have in my house...

I used Maple Shade as a base for exploring your side of the river, Philadelphia, and the Atlantic City area. Then (on that trip), instead of taking the Turnpike, I drove to North Jersey on 206 to Princeton and then beyond....but I must admit, most of the time I've spent in Jersey has been in North Jersey.

. Generally, I've enjoyed my visits. However (no offense intended, Bronsin ), I wouldn't want to live there.
