laws

I've lived in a number of different states, so I've gotten to enjoy being able to pump my own gas. In fact, it's a topic that I've covered a few times in the past, that's how much I wish we were allowed to get out and fill up here in the Garden State. But, maybe it's people like this who are holding us back. Watch this clueless gas pump patron struggle to figure out how to even begin:

It's only halfway into December, and not even officially winter yet, and we've already had a number of challenging travel days in Ocean County.

I've mentioned before how irritating I find it that we can't pump our own gas here in New Jersey. But come on, at least we're not setting ourselves on fire. If these people can pump their own gas, I certainly think we should be able to. Check out the incendiary video below:

Texting while driving is a topic that I've covered at length in the past. A driver in Wisconsin just learned the hard way what can happen...

What is one of my favorite parts of traveling out of state? Being able to pump my own gas. Sad that I look forward to that, but true.
