In Eatontown and South Brunswick as well as other locations across the Garden State, hundreds of motorists seeking service found themselves trapped in epic lines and traffic jams:
Just left NJ Moter Vehicle Commission in Washington Boro. Received calls it was a nightmare. Lines started at 4:30 AM and most people here won’t be served today. Extensions should have been granted and more online services needed. Absolute failure. pic.twitter.com/uW1fFvyRH9
