Under New Jersey implied consent law, by driving on public roads you have agreed to:
Under New Jersey's implied consent law, anyone who drives on New Jersey roads has agreed to a breath test after an arrest for intoxicated driving. Refusing is itself illegal: a first refusal brings loss of driving privileges until an interlock is installed, and any refusal also brings a $1,000-a-year surcharge for three years, fines and the IDRC.
Your light is green, but an officer directing traffic signals you to stop. You must:
An officer's directions come before any traffic signal, whether they mean going on red or stopping on green. Stay stopped until the officer waves you on.
What does the New Jersey manual suggest you do to fight highway hypnosis?
Highway hypnosis comes from monotony, so keep your eyes moving and read signs as you approach them. Staring at one spot makes the trance worse; also stop at least every two hours.
Total stopping distance is made up of:
Total stopping distance includes the distance traveled while you perceive a hazard, react to it, and brake. Following distance is the gap you keep ahead of you, not part of the stop itself.
Cutting through a gas station or parking lot to avoid a traffic signal or sign is:
Using public or private property to get around a traffic signal or sign is a violation and adds two points to the driving record.
On a two-lane road, when a school bus has stopped with its red lights flashing, a motorist must stop at least:
Motorists behind or coming toward a school bus that has stopped with red lights flashing, on a two-lane road, a multi-lane road separated only by lines, or a private road must stop at least 25 feet away and wait until the signals are off. Yellow lights come on before the bus stops; red lights mean it has stopped.
Looking far down the road while on the highway mainly helps you:
Scanning well ahead gives you time to slow or change lanes smoothly instead of braking or swerving at the last moment. It never replaces checking your mirrors.
A permit or probationary license holder under 21 may not drive during these hours:
GDL drivers under 21 may not drive between 11:01 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. An exemption is possible for employment or religious reasons if the driver carries a signed certification on official letterhead.
New Jersey law requires headlights to be on:
Headlights are required from a half hour after sunset until a half hour before sunrise, whenever visibility drops to 500 feet or below, whenever wipers are used in rain, snow or ice, and in fog, mist or smoke. Parking or auxiliary lights cannot substitute for headlights.
The youngest age at which a person can register a motor vehicle in New Jersey is:
New Jersey registers a vehicle only to an owner who is at least 17, the same age at which a probationary license can first be issued. Every vehicle must be titled, registered and insured before it is driven on public roads.
