New Jersey Provisional License Violations: Passenger Limits & Curfew Fines

New Jersey's Graduated Driver License (GDL) program imposes strict rules on probationary drivers. Violations carry escalating fines designed to reinforce safe habits during the highest-risk driving years.

Provisional License Restrictions

Driving Hours: No driving 11:01 PM – 5:00 AM (exemptions: work, school, religious activities with documentation)
Passengers: Only one non-household passenger allowed (unless accompanied by parent/guardian)
Decals: Red GDL decal on license plates (Kyleigh's Law)
Electronics: Zero tolerance—no hands-free or handheld devices

Fine Schedule (as of 2024)

Violation	Fine Range	Points
Driving past allowed hours (curfew)	$200 – $400	2
1–2 excess passengers	$100 – $200	2
3+ excess passengers	$200 – $400	2
Missing GDL decal	$100	0
Cell phone/electronic use	$200 – $400 (1st), $400 – $600 (2nd), $600 – $800 (3rd+)	3 (3rd+)

Consequences Beyond Fines

Points accumulate → surcharges, possible suspension
Insurance premiums increase significantly
GDL period extends if violations occur
Parents/guardians may be liable for damages

Court Process

Most GDL violations require municipal court appearance (no mail-in plea). Judges have discretion within ranges. Defensive driving courses may reduce points but not the underlying conviction.

Note: Fines subject to change; verify with NJ MVC or municipal court. Court costs ($33+) apply in addition to fines.
