Why new jersey drivers are the best drivers (Yes, Really)

People love to joke about New Jersey drivers. We’re fast. We’re bold. We’re maybe a little too comfortable changing lanes on the Parkway.

But the truth is that New Jersey drivers are some of the best in the country.

We have to be. Because driving here isn’t easy — and that’s exactly what makes us great.

Only in New Jersey do you turn right to make a left. Out-of-staters think it’s chaos — we call it efficiency. It’s a perfect example of what makes New Jersey drivers the best: we adapt, we improvise, and we still get where we’re going (usually faster than we should).

At Vista Driving School, we see it every day — that unmistakable Garden State confidence behind the wheel. Here’s why New Jersey drivers don’t just survive the roads… they own them.

We Can Handle Anything the Road Throws at Us

From jughandles and roundabouts to potholes, we’ve seen it all. Driving in New Jersey isn’t just about skill — it’s about reflexes.

Parallel Parking? That’s Our Superpower

Our students don’t just pass the NJMVC road test — they nail it. The NJMVC examiners know: if you can parallel park in Jersey, you can parallel park anywhere. W

We Drive in Every Season (and Every Mood)

Rain, snow, fog, heat — New Jersey drivers don’t flinch. We know how to brake on ice, dodge puddles, and find the last working defroster setting. We don’t cancel plans for bad weather; we just leave five minutes earlier.



Confidence Is in Our DNA

Maybe it’s because we live between New York and Philly, or maybe it’s the Parkway tolls. Either way, New Jersey drivers are assertive, alert, and unshakable. We merge like we mean it.


It’s Not Just Driving — It’s a Skill for Life

When you earn your license here, you don’t just get permission to drive — you earn independence. You learn focus, patience, and maybe a few creative hand gestures (we’re working on that part).

At Vista Driving School, we help new drivers become confident, safe, and road-test ready — no matter where their journey starts.
