NJ Driving is a privilege, not a right.

NJ Driving is a privilege, not a right. State law allows or requires an individual’s driving privilege to be suspended for certain motor vehicle violations, which means the driver license will be taken away and the motorist may not drive for a stated period of time. In addition to license suspension, fines and imprisonment may also be imposed for moving violations. The length of suspension time depends on the law that is broken and how many convictions a motorist receives. Likewise, license restoration depends on the types of offenses and the number of convictions. A habitual offender is a motorist whose driver license has been suspended three times in three years. To avoid any problems, it is important to know and obey New Jersey’s traffic laws, which are in place to protect every motorist.

Some suspensions are decided on a case-by-case basis. If the sentence is not mandatory, the Chief Administrator of the MVC or the courts may suspend driving privileges. Reasons for loss of driving privileges may include, but is not limited to the following reasons:

• Failure to appear in court or to pay nest • Failure to pay motor vehicle surcharges • Driving while suspended
• Failure to provide proof of insurance

• Physical or mental disqualification • Drug or alcohol use
• Traffic law violations
• At fault in a fatal accident

• Failure to respond to an MVC notice

The MVC Chief Administrator may also require a re-examination of any person considered to be a problem driver. This re-examination will help to determine whether driving privileges should be suspended.

“December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy.”

“December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy.”

That famous proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt still stands true today. But as 76th anniversary events take place this week in Pearl Harbor, there is a noticeable shift from the large-scale commemoration activities that occurred a year ago for the 75th remembrance services.

We cannot – we must not – let their heroism fade from the memories of Americans. It is our duty as patriotic citizens to educate future generations on what the Greatest Generation did, starting with repelling the attack on Pearl Harbor. After all, it’s embedded in the DNA of our organization, “To preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the Great Wars.”

NJ IDRC County programs

NJ IDRC County programs Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP)

Any person convicted of an alcohol related traffic offense must participate in a program at an Intoxicated Driving Resource Center (IDRC):

• New Jersey has an IDRC in each county for first and third-time offenders and three regional centers for second-time offenders
• During the program, offenders attend mandatory Alcohol and Highway Safety Education courses
• IDRC also evaluates each offender for an alcohol or drug problem and determines the need for treatment
• If treatment is needed, the offender must complete a 16-week minimum treatment
• IDRC monitors compliance and reports noncompliance to the courts and IDP. IDP makes recommendation to the MVC for suspension or restoration based on the offender’s successful completion of conviction requirements. 

Satisfactory participation in IDRC is a step toward restoring your license. Failure to comply will result in further license suspension and possible jail time. 

IDRC fees and other related charges may apply:

Charge	Paid To
$100 attendance fee	MVC
$264 first offender fee	IDRC
$321 second offender fee	IDRC
$100 license restoration fee	MVC
