driving

Most of us see this every day - you're behind a car on the Parkway, 70, 37, or another busy local highway, and the vehicle starts to drift a little over the line. The driver obviously suddenly notices as the car swerves back into the lane. You go to pass the car and you see the driver glancing down at a cell phone. It's not funny anymore. People are getting killed. A lot of them. Watch this video

Yes, this article is about a car.

We all have those intersections - those that we dread coming to because it's almost always a hassle. Whether it's the traffic pattern, the timing of the light, or the condition of the road, there are plenty of candidates for Worst Intersection in Ocean County.

Looking at the question in the headline, I don't think that the answer is necessarily cut and dry. If you happened to witness an accident (but weren't involved), there are valid reasons for both stopping and not stopping.

When thinking of what I'm going to write about each day, there are a couple of ways that ideas come up - I have a notepad that I keep brainstorming ideas on, things happen locally that need coverage, and sometimes inspiration just strikes. That car above inspired me today.

We talked yesterday about how the Parkway construction is making for commuting headaches in Ocean County. It's even worse on days like today.

We've talked before about how the construction on The Garden State Parkway is causing commuter headaches for Ocean County residents and workers. Just when I thought that the closures, lane changes, and shifts couldn't get more confusing, I hopped on at exit 90 last week.

Driving in Ocean County can be a challenge, to put it lightly. We've got almost constant construction, annoying intersections, and New Jersey's infamous traffic circles. But just when you thought it couldn't get worse than we have it here, this video of a terrifying intersection in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia hits the Internet. How there's not even so much as a single fender bender in this whole video,

Beautiful spring days like today make me think of one of my favorite things to do this time of year - taking road trips. But of course if you're going to hit the highway, you have to make sure your car is in tip top shape.
