    The AP is reporting that the driver of the red truck was a "special needs driver who may have a mental impairment"

    Wonder exactly what that means?

      Hopefully, Corzine will recover fully from his ordeal. Hopefully, too, he has learned a lesson - buckle up for safety

        I think it was Karma that put him in the hospital. What goes around - comes around. Hopefully no one else was hurt.

                  The state trooper driving has to know the sensibility of the seat belt law. He should always insist the Governor buckle the belt. Bet the trooper had his buckled.

                    The Good Governor signed a Bill that called for all driver to where a seat belt or face a fine, Really, It's just another Tax for New Jersey to Collect for their corrupt programs. It's ironic that the Good Governor did not take his Tax Seriously.

                    New Jersey has a Cesspool Of Democrats that have destroying New Jersey for many years... Will the Voters Ever Learn???

                    On a Positive Note, I sincerely wish the Governor of New Jersey a speedy and Full Recovery..

                    Sincerely....

                        The guys a crook. Again, the guys a crook.

                        Gotta look up, and watch out. There is a "God". He

                        ain't nice sometimes. He has one hell of a sense of

                        humor. Corzine got off easy. The same jackass that

                        would make people pay if they forgot to "buckle up"

                        had a oops boo boo cause, no seaty belty. Poor fella.

                        Hope he recovers ok. Hope he learns about life.

                        I ain't holding my breath

                        I think he is a "jackass"

                          I hope they FINE the governor for not wearing his seat belt, after all, he's the one who started the seat belt stings for cops to fine people who aren't wearing theirs.

                          I love how the cops act when it's a buddy or some official that gets hurt, but if it's you or me, then they don't give a crap most of the time. Not all the time, but MOST of the time.

                          Almost getting run over in the street by a drunk driver (who is connected to the local law around here) who ended up totaling our car and taking off, meanwhile it takes the troopers an HOUR to get here, never mind it's NOT a weekend and NEVER MIND that the BARRACKS ARE A FRIGGIN' 5 minute DRIVE from where this happened!!!!

                          Oh, and we had our place broken into, we call the cops (hahaha, why bother?) and they say over the phone, "What you want us to do about it?" How about FIND OUT WHO DID IT??? LIKE DO YOU FRIGGIN' JOBS FOR A CHANGE!!!!
