N.J. law would mandate teen drivers to spend extra year with learning permit
Teens long for the day they can get away from their parents and use their newfound freedom from a driver’s license to do what they want, when they want.
Well, if the N.J. Legislature has its way, teens will have to wait a little longer.
According to CBS 2 New York, the bill the state legislature passed in recent days will require more hours logged with the learning permit, possibly taking up to a year to get a probationary license. Parents could also be required to take a teen driving safety course. (Schilling, New Jersey Newsroom)
