Who the hell is your "buddy"? What is going on with this thread!
I am constraining by this forum's TOS from specifically naming the forum member who is G.1's "buddy", but if you carefully peruse the NJ forum, you can probably figure it out for yourself, especially if you think of the word, "Cream", with the addition of a digit.

I know who you are talking about... Is he really in prison?
NJ has too much construction vehicles going through busy roads. I see a lot of dump trucks and equipment hauling trucks daily going through neighborhoods and highways. Dump trucks on Rt 21/22 is very dangerous and have caused accidents and deaths due to negligence.
The bulk of traffic in NJ is due to too many slow and overly cautious drivers. If you ever look at high residential area the majority of traffic is due to stop signs and single lane where people take forever to make a simply right turn. I hate stop signs more because people play the waiting game too much.
.
I will also add that poorly timed traffic lights also cause terrible congestion. There is a stretch of route 46 that I drive every day and I have to stop at a red light at every single intersection. On other roads there are so many traffic lights that change to red even when there are no cars waiting to cross from the other direction. So it's a constant stopping of traffic for no reason.
"Pokey" is an archaic slang term for... jail.
Remember, I am not claiming that his recent absence is due to being behind bars. That possibility was suggested by another forum member.
Thank you for being the only person have a normal response to this thread.
There are a lot of dump trucks on I-280 too. Trucks are scary, because their tires can fly off, or they can have items stored inside fly out onto other people's vehicles. Large trucks are ENOUGH, but when you have the addition of the following things, it contributes to too much traffic. : 1. commercial vans like air conditioning, heating 2. redneck pickup trucks when it is winter and no yard work needs to be done 3. large landscaping vehicles when it is winter and no yard work needs to be done.
Yes, I agree with you. Slow drivers are the reasons why we have traffic issues in NJ. When people drive, it causes a "domino effect", where it takes a second for the driver behind them to react. This causes the jams. Most of the slow drivers are rednecks in their monstruous looking pickup truck or a bunch of old people. NJ has too many retirees and too many redneck pickup drivers. They cannot drive well. Whenever they are first in line at a red light, they cannot react fast enough, yet they react too fast to the yellow lights and they cause me to miss the yellow before it even turns red. Then it takes a second for each driver behind them to react. It goes in a domino effect. I don't like going out anywhere, because NJ's bad drivers and commercial vehicles contribute to the jams. I could move to a more sparsely populated state with a better quality of life and the pay the same cost of living you get in NJ.
The police in NJ are awful. They sit in their cars chit chatting and not watching the flow of traffic. They blocked off a part of River Road FOR NO REASON during the recent snowstorm when I was close to accessing my road off of River Road. The cop blocked that part off and directed traffic towards Ridgedale Avenue instead and all of that was jammed. I don't support NJ cops, I'm sorry. In fact, the Newark police does a better job controlling their morning rush hour traffic than the cops in the suburbs controlling the commonly messy intersections.
So, I guess when you are spending all your time seeing whether a retiree or a "redneck pickup driver" is holding up traffic, you're not delaying traffic yourself?
So people other than that don't hold up traffic?
