No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a public highway in NJ unless the person is under
supervision while participating in a behind-the-wheel driving course or is in possession of a
validated NJ permit, or a provisional, basic or cdl driver's license issued to him by this or any
other state.

A person driving while unlicensed in NJ shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $500 and up to

$200.00 must be imposed by the court, up to 60 days in jail, and the court shall issue an order to
the motor vehicle commission requiring the MVC to refuse to issue a license to operate a
motor vehicle to the person for a period of not less than 180 days, plus MVC surcharges.
Lawyers Commentary on the law: The law states you must have a valid license or permit to drive. If
you don't you are an unlicensed driver, no exceptions. As stated above the penalties for driving
while unlicensed are severe and can include up to 60 days in jail. It does not matter that your
violation was simply forgetting to renew your license on time or take a vision test, the penalties are
the same. This may seem like small mistake, but the law states if you are to drive you must do so
with a valid license or permit. We can help, but you must take the first step and setup the free in
