Death Defeats New Jersey

It's a police escort from the funeral home (aka, life transition center) to the church for my mom's funeral. One woman drives through, past the motorcycle officer, and almost hits me. Later, the police let us make a left from Route 10 from the left lane.

If you know New Jersey, you know how momentous this is. We have defied the state that is synonymous with the jughandle. They might even sell cars in New Jersey that don't have left turn signals.

And in the hearse my stickler-for-the-rules mom, no doubt, wants to rise and give the driver a what for.
