Few New Jersey teen drivers are complying with the nation’s first law that requires them to display decals on their license plates, state officials said. Fewer than one in four had purchased decals when the law went into effect Saturday. State Motor Vehicle Commission spokesman Michael Horan said 59,537 pairs had been sold. At least 250,000 drivers are required to display the detachable decals. The decals help police enforce restrictions on first-time drivers, which limit the number of passengers they can carry and the hours they can drive. Violators could face a $100 fine.
A few state Assembly Republicans plan to introduce a bill that would rescind the decal requirement. Opponents say the law subjects motorists to nuisance traffic stops and might entice criminals to target young drivers. AP
Tell the governement to take care of themselves! All these rules and reg. Do we live in a free country?
Everyone should get one!! Even vehicles without young drivers should have them- that way there will be no discrimination. Perhaps HH will give them out at Toys For Thought. Think…. for yourselves.
if they would make them easier to pick up (more local than the DMV) then, maybe….
what exactly are the rules for this decal?
1. my son got a reg. license when he turned 18, does it apply to him?
2. what if we have more than one car?
3. have them more readily available in local gas stations, maybe…
Will there be a “$4 Federal Decal Reimbusemet Program” coming anytime soon?
