New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) caused a bit of a traffic problem Monday on his way to the beach.

A man decided to tail Christie’s motorcade after he became angry when he claimed a vehicle following the governor’s SUV cut him off, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.

Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak told the Star-Ledger that the governor was en route to his summer residence on the Jersey Shore when the man started following the motorcade. The motorist wasn’t driving aggressively, he said.

A plain clothes state trooper in the vehicle following Christie’s eventually pulled into a police department parking lot to talk it out with the angry motorist, according to the newspaper. No charges were filed.

    Practicing for when the Russians invade New Jersey no doubt.

  5. I am not aware of motorcades that don’t piss other drivers off. Plus this “motorcade” is Christie’s vehicle, and the one following it. So the one following it needs to stay behind Christie’s car, which probably explains why he cut the guy off. Big deal?

    Can’t stand Christie, but this is not news. And the lead story?
