Overview
This bill increases penalties for drivers in New Jersey who have never been issued a driver's license. It raises fines and establishes specific imprisonment terms for such offenses, ranging from $500 to $1,000 and 45 to 180 days in jail, depending on the number of prior offenses. The bill also mandates a higher penalty – 45 to 180 days imprisonment – if a driver without a license causes a car accident resulting in injury to another person. It also expands the driver's license examination to include questions about organ donation and the ‘STOP for Nikhil Safety Pledge’.
