The teenager drivers of NJ are being targeted by the State Government of NJ. The NJ State lesgislature has already passed this and NOBODY knows about it
The laws:
-Anyone between 16 and 21 must have a provisional sticker on their car or anyone's car they drive
-The new offical driver license is being moved to 21
-The curfew is being lowered to 11pm -The 1 person restrictoin stays on till you are 21
-Effective April 1st, 2010
-Full NJ licensed drivers KEEP their license,(no downgrades)
Imagine, your in your 3rd year of college and you can't drive past 11? You can't drive more than one person?
They are marking them/us by forcing us to put stickers on our car saying how old we are and that we are a provisional driver. This makes teenager drivers a target for police and other drivers. Police will target us for the littlest mistakes that every new drivers make. Other drivers will speed up and drive recklessly to get around these drivers. The HUGE concern is that these stickers knowingly tell everybody around us our age. This makes us a target of stalkers and pedophiles. They can easily spot a sticker that says " Hi I'm a 16 year old teenager girl". We are petitioning these new sets of laws because they target one group of people, much like racsim is. We want our voice heard by someone and anyone willing to help us change this law to the old restrictions.

I spent the whole morning reading the comments people are leaving and honestly it is terrifying how many of you are worried about the safety risks these stickers create for younger drivers. It is wild that the legislature thinks this is a good idea but I am still trying to get in touch with local offices to see if they will even acknowledge how unfair these restrictions are for people just trying to get to work or class.

I checked the count and we are just hovering under the mark so go blast this link to your group chats right now before the news cycle shifts away from us. It is honestly absurd that anyone thinks a sticker makes the roads safer when it only makes us targets for creeps and bored cops on patrol.

cant drive past 11? i work late shifts and this literally makes it impossible for me to keep my job. get real.
what a joke. i have to commute to work and school this is gonna ruin my schedule. thanks for nothing nj
the stickers are actually so dangerous. why would they make it easier for strangers to know exactly who is driving alone? makes me feel sick honestly.
absolute garbage. nobody even knows about this. hope someone listens because this is not fair at all.
total BS. targeting kids because of their age is basically discrimination. stop treating us like criminals just for learning how to drive.

This is ridiculous. 21 for a license is insane when we can vote and join the military at 18. Fix this.
