Thinking of taking a vacation to Jersey, in the UK, not that $hithole state on the east coast of the United States. Anywho, the pictures are pretty convincing in themselves but, what do folks do over there? Any exciting ideas that will just make me want to pack my bags tomorrow?

It is a very small, clean, well managed, beautiful island.
A mixture of all the best of "old fashioned" England mixed up with the Fench!
Exceptionally easy to get around by bus or car.
You seem to be from the US so what ever you do don't order a "C" compact car or bigger. What you need is a SMART car, link attached:-

Some of the roads are TINY as in unbelievably narrow to you! We have had Smart's and even they feel big!
Here is the tourist office website:-

Depends what you want to do, it is all here - just in miniature which is it's beauty - no mass tourism!
You could stay in a "chain" hotel but why not go for a luxury boutique locally owned hotel. there are lots of "quirky" ones. You will enjoy the experience a million times better!
Have an "awayday" in St. Malo (France) to experience the magic and mystery of a small part of France.
You go across on the ferry:-

You could also visit the other channel islands, Guernsey.Sark, perhaps even Alderney etc. - all different and fascinating!
What you would probably enjoy the most is it is the compete opposite of "modern" America, and all on a tiny scale!

Your Road Test and One's Own Car?
Alpreshot
Just one general question, I have an updated registration and insurance for the car I want to use for my road test (New Jersey), but...
Are cars with backup sensors (looks like it just came with the car) allowed while you take the road test? I was curious because not everyone has that luxury of that.
If this matters at all, mine is a voice-back up sensor, where it tells you about how many feet you are from any object while backing up.
Answer
If you have that luxury then enjoy it!! I think the person giving the test won't say anything. How could your car be exempt from being used, by having technological advances? If anything it should be appreciated by the department of motor vehicles.
