Charles- Please, don't lol.
Thats the problem with Jersey, the assume that they're special and what works in other states won't work for them. It really is like a whole nother country, my fiance is from NJ and I tense up the minute I cross the border. I really don't like it.
Take the argument about handicapped people not being able to find full service stations. Again, in 48 states somehow they do. Do they not have handicapped drivers in these 48 states? I bet they do. Still, NJ is special and different. As for not being able to find full serve stations, I can name 5 within 5 miles of here. You have to pay more but the attendents actually PROVIDE service because its optional, they ACTUALLY clean the windows etc.
Its just dumb, on the NJ Turnpike you have to wait 45 minutes for gas and the lines are 20 cars deep, not so in DE, not so in NY, not so in PA, not so in MD. The only time my dad ever had a credit card stolen in 35 years of using them was on the NJ Turnpike getting gas. Its just a stupid, stupid law.
I fill up the last stop in DE and will let it run on fumes coming back to keep from getting Jersey gas. NY is annoying too with the outlaw of the pump holders so you have to stand there but not as annoying as NJ.
As for it being hard to get out of your car to pump gas, no offense but if you can detail your car you can pump gas. I've never stepped in gas, never driven over anything, when its cold I just get out, put the pump in and get back in. No big deal. If you don't want to do it then find a full service gas station, they DO still exist. Why should I not be allowed to pump my own gas because you don't want to get out in the cold? Thats why there's a choice.
I'm sorry for handicapped people, but the law is very clear. Handicapped people have the right to ACCESS, and that access may or may not be at their own expense or trouble. Maybe the thing to lobby for is that a certain number of gas stations within a certain radius must have full serve capability. Handicapped people don't have the right to make carmakers outfit all cars so parapalegics can drive them for instance, they can make those modifications at their own expense. They don't have the right to demand that apartment owners make all apartments fully accessable for people in wheelchairs, but they are allowed to make reasonable alterations at their own expense, and must return the property to its previous state when they leave. They don't have the right to make ALL of us let other people pump our gas.
