Permits driving schools to use vehicles owned by driving instructors.
This bill allows New Jersey driving schools to use vehicles owned or leased by their employed driving instructors for behind-the-wheel lessons and road tests administered by the Motor Vehicle Commission. It directly affects driving schools and their instructors by permitting this vehicle use under specific conditions. Key requirements include: the instructor must hold a valid license and certification, the vehicle must be properly insured, meet safety standards (like dual brakes, seatbelts, and "Student Driver" signage), and be registered in the instructor's name. The bill does not change existing insurance or safety rules but clarifies vehicle ownership flexibility for instructional purposes.
