More street racing on the garden state parkway

I was on the Garden State Parkway at around Exit 89, give or take.

It was at a busy time of the day around 3:30 pm. And, anyone traveling on the Garden State Parkway knows around 3:30 - 4:00 pm, southbound is crazy with traffic. Now, I realize it's not summer, going southbound, but still...come on this was just stupid what I saw.

So, I see these two lunatics driving a blue Bronco an older one, and a red Toyota pick-up truck, I did not get license plates, they were going too fast. It was like they were racing, they were racing. There are three lanes of traffic and these people were racing on the side of the parkway. Yes, the three lanes of traffic and were racing on the pull-off lanes. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen on the parkway. I couldn't believe it.

I was in the car with my 15-year-old, she will be driving soon and she was like what the h*&&...I said, I know. I think a few choice curse words were coming out of my mouth. My heart was racing. It reminded me of that time I saw motorcycles speeding in and out of the traffic and once again my heart was racing. Why do people have to be such idiots on our roads?

Please, please DO NOT RACE on the Garden State Parkway. Driving in New Jersey is just plain crazy on normal days. When I see two people racing on the side of the GSP, it's just plain stupid.
