Enhances penalties imposed on drivers who have never been issued a driver's license.

This bill (S 54) amends New Jersey's driver's license examination requirements, not penalties for unlicensed drivers as the title suggests. It requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to add 20% more questions to the written test, focusing solely on alcohol/drug safety impacts (developed with the Department of Health), and to create new manual supplements covering these topics. The bill also mandates adding up to 20 additional questions about aggressive driving dangers (e.g., erratic lane changes, tailgating) for young drivers, after consulting traffic safety officials. It does not change penalties for unlicensed driving but modifies testing procedures for new license applicants. The bill was introduced to the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee on January 13, 2026.
