		<title>The Cell Phone Ban</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is cell phone use while driving banned in NJ (among several other states)? How is holding a cellphone any less safe than using a hands-free device to engage in a telephone conversation? Most people with half a brain can safely talk on a cellphone while driving a car, then again I guess most people [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Know You&#8217;re From Jersey When&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You don&#8217;t think of fruit when people mention &#8220;The Oranges.&#8221;
You know that it&#8217;s called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You&#8217;ve known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You&#8217;ve eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 A.M.
You know that the state [...]]]></description>

		<title>NC and FL Vehicle Registrations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a typical day driving around or through NJ, I lose count of how many cars with Florida or North Carolina registrations. What&#8217;s the deal?
Are these people defrauding the state by registering their vehicle in FL or NC to avoid paying higher registration fees or higher insurance premiums? According to most if not all insurance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yield To Pedestrians in Crosswalk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just the other day I was driving through a small industrial park. One of the companies has multiple buildings on opposite sides of a narrow two-lane road (where the speed limit is 25MPH), so there is a lot of pedestrian traffic as the workers move between buildings throughout the day.
There is a clearly marked crosswalk, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Douchebag In The Audi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I happened to notice today like I do every day some douchebag driving an Audi S8 with both front and rear foglights on in clear weather. I have nothing against Audis (hell I used to own an A4 myself), but at least read your owners manual and learn what rear foglights are, and learn how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Makes NJ Drivers Go Crazy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was driving home the other night while there was about a one inch dusting of snow on the ground. It wasn&#8217;t anything serious,  but that little dusting along with the snow that came down during the day and melted, and the 20 degree temperatures were enough to make the roads ever so slightly slick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manhole Placement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that nearly every manhole for access to utilities/pipes underground is placed directly in the path of your left wheels? If the manholes were shifted two feet to the right (or the if the roads were shifted two feet to the left), that would enable cars to go over the manholes without any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learn How To Merge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When two lanes merge into one, it&#8217;s universally understood that both lanes take a turn merging; one car from the right lane goes, then one from the left, then one from the right, and so forth.
NOT IN NEW JERSEY! Usually one of two things happens:

It&#8217;s your turn to merge, and the car in the lane [...]]]></description>
