  1. Chapter 2 Steps to a Valid NJ Drivers License

  2. Three Documents you Must Have • License • Insurance Card • Registration Card

  3. 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). Tests

  4. License • The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) is now issuing a more secure state driver license to combat the growing national problem of ID fraud. MVC began issuing New Jersey's first generation Digital Driver License (DDL) in mid-January 2004. • By June 2008, New Jersey's current photo and non-photo driver licenses will have expired, to be completely replaced by this virtually counterfeit-proof digital license that contains nearly two dozen security features.

  5. 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.

  6. Minors 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

  7. 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.

  8. • 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-of-way • steering properly What do they Test?

  9. 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.

  10. 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. How will they fail?

  11. THE GRADUATED DRIVER LICENSE PROGRAM • GDL is designed to give new drivers increasing instruction and driving experience, step-by-step, on the road to obtaining a full basic driver license. • GDL has been proven to save lives among new drivers and their passengers.

(An off-road screening process may precede road test.) • Operate motor vehicle according to MVC’s special conditions for Provisional Driver License.

  15. Provisional Driver License – Special Conditions • May not drive from 12:01 a.m. to 5 a.m. except with a written waiver from employer or religious authority.
