Yaris versus Corvette

I did not see him pulled over on the side of the road.

I do not think your friend is correct about the use of cameras on the NJTPK. Although I do not travel it very often. If they had unmanned cameras there people would know about it.

The incident from the Fall of 2009 that I was telling my neighbor about involved me. I was staying in East Brunswick near Route 18 and I got on the Turnpike at Route 18. I was heading to Yankee Stadium. I had in the past done a fair amount of driving around New Jersey and had experienced some of the things you only see in New Jersey (Jug Handles, etc.), but I had never driven across the George Washington Bridge. I got stuck in the traffic in those center lanes, while the traffic on the sides going to the other deck was moving along just fine. I saw a bunch of huge SUVs that I couldn't see over exiting to the right, so I followed them. I soon realized it wasn't an exit but I was sandwiched in and couldn't move. There were over 10 vehicles and what the lead people were doing was cutting through a break in the median. A few people got through and then two trooper cars came flying out from nowhere and parked on either end and all 10 of us got tickets for driving on the median. I was telling my neighbor this story and he mentioned the cameras. I had no reason to doubt him at the time (and it seemed to make sense), but I'm sure he could be wrong.
I ended up missing the Yankee game, but I did get to go to a game in 2010 about a week before Father's Day. Incredible Stadium. I can't stand the Yankees (I wish they would lose every game they play), but they do have the most passionate fans. I used to say the best fans.....until they spat on Cliff Lee's wife. As much as I dislike the Yankees, the history of Major League Baseball wouldn't be half of what it is without them. When I was at the game, there was still some 'rubble' from the old stadium.

I also got to see a game at Citi Field on that same trip. The game from the previous day had been rained out, so there were two games that day. I saw the second game, and it rained a bit before the second game, but they still played it. It was the day that Lady Gaga took her shirt off and was there in her bra until management put her in Jerry Seinfeld's box (that happened during the first game I didn't see). What was most amazing about that day was seeing the parking lot where Shea Stadium used to be. I saw a game there in late 2007 during that epic 20+ loss collapse and it was amazing to see every inch of that stadium gone....... Sorry, didn't mean to go on so much about baseball .

I got the feeling from my neighbor that the area where I was (near the bridge) was fitted with cameras that fed to some sort of center near the bridge that is manned.
