Massive Traffic backup on NJ Turnpike

I was sure glad to be going north as I saw traffic backed up over the Del Memorial Bridge and then back another 8 miles up the turnpike. Keep in mind that I was doing 80 the other way.

Two major infractions on this video:

- You are supposed to respect the posted speed limit, which is 65 at this part of the NJ Turnpike

- You use the left lane to pass ONLY, it's not a cruising lane

@LondonUnderground186  uhh, this IS New Jersey where nobody drives the posted speed limit and over half the people cruise in the hammer lane.

CB radios were very popular in the 1970's and 1980's until cell phones were introduced. In the United States, and probably most countries, CB radios are used by truckers. I like having mine for 2 reasons, first they often alert you as to the locations of cops, and second, they are excellent for knowing about traffic jams ahead leaving you an opportunity to seek a detour.
