A Jersey Left is also known as a jughandle left. When you need to make a left turn, you have to stay to the right, use the jughandle to cross the road to make the left.

At a red light, the asshole car driver who makes the left hand turn by cutting off opposing traffic just as the light turns green.
Driver: "I don't feel like waiting forever to turn left."
Passenger: "Just jump the gun and make a Jersey Left."

The act of turning left when the light turns green in front of oncoming traffic, even though in no state in the US does anybody EVER have the right of way in this instance. AKA-another East Coast piss poor driving move.
Dude 1: "A jack-hole cut me off on the way to work this morning trying to pull a Jersey Left."
Dude 2: "Damn people can't drive for crap around here."

The act of making a left turn at a traffic light as soon as it turns green. It is accepted practice in New Jersey to allow the first car at an intersection to make a left turn before opposing traffic proceeds.

You have to make a left on to Levitt Pkwy from Rt 130 South, but it's a Jersey Left so stay in the right lane so you don't miss it.
