And the traffic was probably caused by a dude going 65mph in the left lane and another dude texting while driving so he was swerving all over the place. I hate driving in this state. Y’all are awful drivers.

Comments like yours initially upset me as they're attacking my home state, but, fuck, there are a lot of shitty drivers in NJ. Fortunately way less than adjoining states though, so, yeah.

Actually, there was no traffic at all in front of me, I was just slowing down to get a good picture in my side mirror and apparently caused 7 lanes of traffic to get backed up. My bad.

🤣🤣 what time was this? It’s still light out. I have a global entry interview at 2:15 at the airport and have to drive north afterwards. I’d hate to get stuck in a mess like that.

Late afternoon. You can see the sun on its way down in the pic. It opened up considerably after the 14s and someone else told me there was some fuckery going on the Goethals and Outerbridge crossings, so that probably accounted for a lot of it.

But tomorrow is a big travel day before NYE, so... good luck!

I know. 🤯I think it took 6 months to get this appointment. I took what they gave me because I have a trip planned for February out of the country and I want cut some of the security hassles

try driving outside of this state :) NJ consistently places top 5 for driving safety in the country

and yes I've driven out of state before as well, all I've seen was the same idiocy I see in NJ but compounded

I would hope so since the traffic frequently slows everything to 10mph 😮‍💨

overturned truck on the outerbridge crossing so everyone headed to the goethals exit 13. the n there was an accident just past the exit 13 toll.
