I'm in NJ, which has the highest car insurance rates in the universe, and $500+ a month sounds very high. She must have run over the Geico gecko or something.
I guess the driver in question did not "go with the Flo"?
Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your waitresses.
If you are poor, less educated, have trouble getting credit and live in a bad neighborhood, I'm sure there are plenty of insurers out there who are only too happy to overcharge you. Heck, they try to do it to those of us who have none of those issues.

How is it overcharge? Higher risk= higher premiums.

Maybe if you could drive without tailgating, weaving, speeding, failing to signal, and being generally unpleasant, your car insurance rates wouldn't be so high.
Seriously, the average driver in NJ makes North Shore Nassau County Range Rover tailgating D-bags seem well mannered.

I'm sensing some buried anger here. I didn't realize I now represent all NJ drivers.
Did somebody from NJ flip you the bird because you were tooling down the Parkway doing 50 in the left lane? Cuz the people who do that almost always have NY plates. The left lane is called "the fast lane" for a reason. It's for passing slower traffic, not sight-seeing.
Can't help you with the no-turn-signal thing. It's become an epidemic.
^ I think it appears to be an issue when a few cross the state line and we especially take notice. In NJ, everyone's driving 75+ on the turnpike - no problems. But when I see NJ plates here, they are not so skilled. Same probably goes for NJ people seeing the random NY'er there. It probably has to do with being in unfamiliar surroundings.

Don't make excuses for these people. It's not my fault they spend their entire childhoods ingesting toxic waste from baby bottles (that is what they do in NJ, right?). I mean, how else do you explain jug handles and Seaside Heights?

Hey now, don't go knocking that toxic waste. It's what makes our soil produce the best-tasting tomatoes in the country!
I don't know who came up with jug handles. LI's road system was designed by Robert Moses. He didn't come to Jersey.
As for Seaside Heights, most Jersey people are over thats scene by the time they are 20. It just got some attention when a bunch of New Yorkers decided to do a TV show.

Yes, but also seriously, it's most likely that the NY plates in the left lane are specifically from the city and they just don't understand the concept that you are supposed to be in the right lane if you are slower traffic. Think about it--in the city, the right lanes are often occupied by double-parked vehicles, so you kind of have to stay to the left. Some city people just aren't used to driving properly on major highways.
