An impatient New Jersey driver was arrested Thursday morning and charged with impersonating a police officer after he allegedly activated his illegal lights and sirens in a bid to beat Holland Tunnel traffic, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Jose Navarro, 30, allegedly tried to pull off the stunt to evade the gridlock going into the tunnel from the New Jersey Turnpike by following a high-ranking Port Authority police chief who pulled to the side of the road to take a look at what was causing the traffic jam, sources said.

At that point Navarro drove behind the chief, identified as Emilio Gonzalez, the highest ranking uniformed Port Authority cop, and flicked on his lights and siren, the sources.

Gonzalez got out of his car and started to question Navarro, who at first claimed he was a former MTA cop, but then kept changing his story, sources said.

Just chain him up at the entrance to the tunnel and let every other driver take a swipe at him with a baseball bat as they enter the tunnel.

Using fake lights and siren while driving behind the Port Authority police chief? That's a special kind of stupid.

Most likely the PA chief was in a personal or unmarked car.
