The safest way to avoid any DUI troubles is to not drive at all after drinking. It is illegal if you are age 21 or older to have a Blood and Alcohol Content level of .08 or higher. If you are under the age of 21 it is illegal to have a Blood and Alcohol Content level of .01 or higher. You will be heavily prosecuted if you are found to be driving under the influence. Be aware that individuals who reach a .05 Blood and Alcohol Content level or higher double their chances of causing an accident. If you refuse to take a breathalyzer test in New Jersey, that is equal to being guilty of having .10 Blood and Alcohol Content level. If you are going to drink, it’s best to have a designated driver.What is defensive driving?
Defensive driving is when you are driving for yourself and others. You are looking out for potential dangers ahead of time and avoiding them. According to the Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations, defensive driving is "driving to save lives, time and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others". Studies show that 90% of accidents are caused by driver errors.
Although these skills are often taught in a driver’s education course, here are some ways you can begin defensive driving now:- Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front
- Check all of your mirrors often and look at conditions way ahead of you
- Keep your speed down
- Position your vehicle so you can see and be seen
- Don’t depend on other drivers to drive safely
Why don’t some states require parallel parking for the road test?

Anyone who chooses not to get a driver's license has there own personal reasons. Some people choose not get behind the wheel out of fear of the road, some choose not to because they may have a person who drives for them.Why are people given alternate routes on the New Jersey MVC test?
The reason the MVC gives different routes on road test is because if there is only one route people would be familiar with it and not be challenged while driving. Different routes allow for the instructor to see if you as a driver can really handle yourself on the road in different situations. Different routes have different circumstances all of which you are required to know in your day to day driving. Different routes on the road test allow for the examiner to see if you know how to drive well and can do it alone.- Collapse all

If you want to drive busloads of kids for a fantastic day at the Camden Adventure Aquarium, you'll need to pick up a New Jersey commercial driver's license (CDL). But you don't want to have to go to the MVC more than once, trust us. That's why we've provided practice exams that have questions similar to those you will see at the MVC. We also have all the info you need for endorsements like passenger and school busses, doubles/triples, tank vehicles, hazardous materials, or air brake restriction removal.
