A tailback is a traffic jam / queue. A "proper tailback" is a really big traffic jam. "Proper" in this context basically means big or major.

- urbandw311er 3y agoHmm, I don’t really know what “British English” is, here in Britain we speak English! I am reliably informed that our language has spread to other countries who have their own interesting and sometimes peculiar variations. We give these variations labels such as “American English” to distinguish them from the original.
