I see a lot of really serious accidents an 78, especially Eastbound. A lot more than on turnpike and Parkway. Because most of them involve trucks, I wonder if the long distance drivers using 78 are on their "last leg" of the trip, NY being only 15-30 miles away) and keep on pushing the limit to get finished even though they're tired. What do you think?New Jersey is just the state of tailgating. I live out in Bethlehem now but I lived in NJ for 27 years and still commute I78 every day to basking ridge. Every day I wake up and check my phone to see if someone decided to get in an accident on my commute, causing a half hour delay. More than once I've run into cases where we're driving along doing 75-80 in the left lane and all traffic comes to an immediate stop with people flying onto the shoulder to avoid an accident, either due to traffic build up or people slowing down because of the sun.
I'm glad I have the Brembos on my Mustang, they've saved my ass a few times for sure. Same with the Wilwoods on the Marauder and the Stoptechs on the M5. I always have to be mindful of the people behind me though as I don't need a Rav4 in my trunk.
You know what would decrease the number of commuter related accidents? If more companies allowed telecommuting (aka working from home)
