I'm not quite sure why New Jersey would care what someone on the opposite side of the country would think.

There is a Northeast Regional Discussions subforum which might apply more.

The NJ Assembly has unanimously passed the NJ Safe Passing Law!

NOW WE NEED THE SENATE TO VOTE
WE NEED YOUR HELP to urge Senate President Sweeney to post the bill in the Senate for a vote on June 30.

His email address is: SENSWEENEY@NJLEG.ORG (Guessing he won't know if you're from another state )

WE DID IT! The New Jersey Safe Passing Law passed the Senate 34-1 and is on it's way to the Governor's desk!

I ride in the Denville/Boonton Twp/Mountain Lakes area of Morris County NJ and have always found NJ drivers to be respectful and decent enough neighbors on the road.
