Three New Jersey licensing policies are unique in the United States: (a) minimum licensing age of 17; (b) applying full graduated driver licensing (GDL) rules to beginners younger than 21; and (c) requiring license status decals on vehicle plates of drivers in GDL.
New Jersey 17-19 year-olds were surveyed by telephone and online.
Eighty-four percent approved licensing at 17; 77% approved applying GDL to older novices; 23% approved the decal policy. Probationary licensees ages 18-19 were more likely than 17 year-olds to have multiple nighttime restriction violations in the past month. There were no age group differences in passenger restriction violations.
All three policies have been considered in other states. Views of teenagers directly affected by the policies can be taken into account in considering their implementation.
Views of licensing policies by affected teenagers indicate potential support or obstacles to their adoption in other states.
新泽西州的三项许可政策在美国是独一无二的：（a）最低许可年龄为 17 岁；（b）对 21 岁以下的初学者适用完整的渐进式驾驶许可（GDL）规则；（c）要求 GDL 驾驶员的车辆牌照上有许可证状态贴纸。
通过电话和在线对新泽西州 17-19 岁的青少年进行了调查。
84%的人赞成 17 岁许可；77%的人赞成将 GDL 适用于年龄较大的新手；23%的人赞成贴纸政策。18-19 岁的试用许可证持有者比 17 岁的人在过去一个月内更有可能多次违反夜间限制。在乘客限制违规方面，各年龄组之间没有差异。
其他州已经考虑了所有这三项政策。在考虑实施这些政策时，可以考虑直接受这些政策影响的青少年的意见。
受影响青少年对许可政策的看法表明，这些政策在其他州的采用可能会得到支持或面临障碍。
