Chapter 1 & 2 The NJ Driver License System NJ Driver Testing

LAWS GOVERNING DRIVER LICENSES A motorist who operates a motor vehicle in NJ must carry: valid driver license or a validated permit valid insurance valid registration

Laws Governing Driver Licenses A motorist with a validated New Jersey driver permit must be accompanied by an appropriately licensed driver. (N. J. S. A. 39: 313, 39: 3 -13. 2 a)

Driving a Vehicle Driving a car is a privilege NOT a right. It can be lost at any point in time with: ◦ Bad judgment ◦ Incorrect paper work ◦ Getting a ticket

What is the Graduate Driver License (GDL) Program? Gradually introduces driving privileges to first-time drivers, extends their practice time and requires a minimum age of 18 in order to receive an unrestricted, basic driver license. GDL has been proven to save lives among new drivers and their passengers. Restrictions placed on first-time drivers. Failure to adhere may result in $100 fine or suspension of driving privilege.

6 Point ID Verification All New Jersey driver license applicants must complete 6 point ID verification by presenting documents that prove their age, identity, and legal presence in the U. S. These documents include: -At least one primary document -At least one secondary document -At least 6 points of ID -Proof of address http: //www. state. nj. us/mvc/pdf/Licenses/ident_ver_posterpint. pdf http: //www. state. nj. us/mvc/Licenses/Document. Selector/index. htm

Tests All applicants for the basic driver license must pass a knowledge test of traffic laws, rules and regulations, by scoring at least 80 percent on a 50 question test. The answer to every question on MVC’s knowledge test can be found in the driver manual. All applicants must also pass a vision test with 20/50 vision with or without glasses or corrective contact lenses. For sight in one eye, that eye must meet the 20/50 criteria. The In vehicle or Behind-the-wheel test (BTW).

Do Now: Announcements: *Hand in Driver’s Ed Syllabus (if not done so already)!! What does GDL stand for? What score do you need to pass to get your permit? How many points of ID verification do you need to show at the MVC? With your permit, what times are you NOT allowed to drive on the road? How many months driving experience do you need before your 17? Once your 17, how long do you have your probationary license for?

DIGITAL DRIVER LICENSE (DDL) In 2004, NJ stopped making laminated paper licenses and implemented DDL. Why do you think they decided to do this? Which way is an under 21 license formated? Over 21 license?

Minors quickly identified with special “under 21” driver licenses and ID cards printed in a vertical format. A bar along the right side of the photo indicates the date when the card holder will turn 21.

DDL

The License Advanced security features help protect card holders against ID theft, and protect retailers against fraud. Some security features are shown in the illustration – others are known only to law enforcement officials. More durable card is significantly thicker, making it less likely that your license will need to be replaced due to damage.

ALTERING (CHANGING) A LICENSE Altering a driver license or showing an altered driver license may result in loss of a motorist’s driving privilege, a fine of up to $1, 000 and/ or up to six months imprisonment.

GETTING A FAKE ID Getting a driver license illegally may result in a fine of up to $200 to $500 and/ or imprisonment of 30 to 90 days.

Road Test After an applicant passes MVC’s knowledge test, MVC will validate the driver’s permit, which allows the driver to practice. When arriving at an MVC driver testing facility for the road test, all applicants must provide a vehicle with a valid inspection sticker, a current registration document for that vehicle, a current insurance card for that vehicle, a valid examination permit, and an accompanying driver, who must be licensed to operate the vehicle.

What do they Test? • Driving in reverse • Stopping at signs • Following other vehicles • Stopping on downgrades and upgrades • Nearing corners and intersections • Stopping smoothly • Parallel and other parking • Turning • Sitting properly • Using the horn • Starting a vehicle • Yielding the right-ofway • Steering properly

Failing the BTW Test Applicants fail the road test for many reasons. Driving ability is not the sole criteria on which road tests are graded. A vehicle can cause a failure if it is considered unsafe or unsuitable for a road test. What if you fail the road test? You must wait at least two weeks before taking the test again If you fail more than twice, MVC may require you to wait six months before taking the road test again

How will they fail? Having an improper, expired, or no inspection sticker. Poor brakes Defective parking brake. Unsafe tires Fast idle engine Missing Seat Belts Unreasonably unclean interior. Equipment in the vehicle in a position that prevents the examiner from reaching the foot or parking brakes will also cause a failure.

Questions 1. What tests do you need to pass to get your license? 2. What is the difference between a minors license and someone over 21? 3. How long must you wait to re-take your road test if you failed?

Address and Name Change A motorist who changes addresses must report this change to the MVC within ONE WEEK after moving. A motorist who legally changes his/her name (marriage, divorce, adoption) must report the change to the MVC within TWO WEEKS. Altering a driver license or presenting an altered license may result in the loss of a motorist’s driving privilege, a fine up to $1, 000 and/or up to 6 months imprisonment.
