I’ve wanted for a while to call them warning that undercover reporters would visit. Maybe would keep him on his toes.

i have heard the same recently but over all I would give them amazing ratings, they put a blind eye to a lot, and if they were looking to pull for every stupid thing we’d be in bad shape!!!

A word to the wise: never agree to more repairs than what you came for. Had this issue with Midas on the 9 and Mavis on 70.

I had this with the Ford dealership, honestly I'm not so sure my $179 for lifetime alignments is worth the headaches they give me everytime I go in there

I disagree. Maybe if they'd stop turning a blind eye to everything we'd be in better shape.

I can’t say I disagree, but I still feel sorry for whoever it is that gets pulled over.

But yes, cell phones and crosswalks are major issues around here.

Feel the same way. They get paid a whole ton of money and don’t do anything to enforce laws that would greatly improve road safety. Not asking them to nitpick but there’s a lot more they should be doing.

I don’t think it would be too effective anyway. They tried doing a crosswalk enforcement years ago and it fell flat. If that was enforced, cars wouldn’t be able to move. (I think they should have fewer crosswalks but enforce them.)

Maybe they could crack down on distracted driving, though.

They need to educate drivers here about the rules of the road. No one knows when it their turn at a 4 way stop sign, and the wrong people are going or everyone is waiting for the person who's turn it is to go but is not moving.
A guy the other day ran a stop sign and hit a car because he was learning shnayim mikrah!
No one knows how to merge. From Hurley onto central some idiot tailgated the car next to me and almost ran me into an on coming car. Some woman couldn't figure out why I was moving into her lane going north on New Hampshire over ocean.
And people don't realize that being able to make a right on red is only when there is no perpendicular traffic heading their way.
I'm not who you think I am.

When you get your license.. I only ever took the test in NY (where it’s pretty comprehensive) but have heard that NJ is a joke in comparison

I meant to ask how that should be done once people have their licenses.

I totally agree that no need to turn a blind eye.  No reason people take the liberty to hold their phone while driving. In NY you get pulled right away so it is much less of an issue.

phones are a HUGE issue but about nid picking I am grateful to hashem that they don’t!!! All the 4 way stop issues come from people on their phones!
