Most infuriating are NYC livery drivers. Uber or Lyft with TLC taxi plates. I guess they spend their time in the city or outer boros where there is never enough open space - and they just don’t understand the unwritten rules of highway flow.

That’s a written rule in NJ. You can be pulled over and ticketed for “sitting” in the left lane. The left lane is for passing only. This is also a law in PA and NY. Check this out for more info: https://www.mwl-law.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/SLOWER-TRAFFIC-KEEP-RIGHT.pdf

Even back when yellow cabbies were the best drivers in the city (20 years ago now) the livery guys were still awful despite them being basically yellow cab drivers to a degree (ie experienced with city driving), but with different cars. That said no NYC borough regular ever understands/learned highway rules and will be doing 45 in a 65, in the passing lane. Good new though, the troopers have been going after passing lane campers on stretches of the parkway. I've personally seen two pullovers and it's just so pleasing.

Because they’re so used to it taking 30 minutes just to drive a mile

Native NYC drivers normally complain about the inconsistent, slow, with a hint reckless driving of NJ drivers. Then there's the reckless, chance taking, never fast enough drivers of Maryland. Let's not forget NC drivers... make that Charlotte, NC drivers (which are from everywhere), where everyone thinks they're NASCAR drivers while looking at their phones or just plain out daydreaming. 🤦🏽♂️😂🤣😂

Not true. Most natives from nyc want to get where they got to go asap.

That may have been true years ago, now on the TP extensions to EWR stretch there are a whole lotta clueless NYC plated cars driving like they are on Lex not a major highway.

That's because 80% to 90% (not 100% just to leave room for possibilities) of those plates are not NYC natives. NYS (including upstate, Staten Island, Long Island, and any others outside of the 5 boroughs [I know Staten Island is a borough, but not really 😂]) drivers are not NYC natives.👍🏽😂
