KYLEIGH'S LAW
REQUIRES TEEN DRIVERS TO DISPLAY RED DECALS
 5/23/10
- Effective May
1, 2010, New Jersey law requires all permit and probationary
driver's license holders under the age of 21 to display a red
decal on their front and rear license plates. The decals are
intended to help police identify drivers who may be violating
any of the Graduated Driver's License (GDL)
restrictions.
The special decals can be picked up at any
Motor Vehicle Agency for $4 per pair. Failure to display the
decals will result in a $100 fine.
The decals can be
easily affixed to the license plates which also allows for the
removal of the decals when the GDL holder is not driving the
vehicle.
The law is named for Kyleigh D'Alessio, a
16-year-old killed in a 2006
Washington Township, New Jersey
crash in which another teen was driving.

THE NEW JERSEY "MOVE OVER LAW"
2/5/10 - In March 2009 New Jersey
lawmakers adopted the "Move Over Law". The new law
requires motor vehicle operators to reduce their speed and
change lanes when approaching authorized vehicles displaying
emergency lights. Such vehicles include police, fire and
medical services vehicles, and also highway maintenance, tow
trucks and official motorist aid vehicles displaying amber
emergency lights. Where possible, drivers are required to move
over to create an empty lane next to the emergency vehicle.
When safely changing lanes is not possible, drivers must slow
down below the posted speed limit prior to passing emergency
vehicles. Drivers should also be prepared to stop, if
necessary.
