Reduces time period during which certain prior offenses may be considered for sentencing purposes; permits first offenses to be removed from driving record in certain circumstances.
This bill modifies New Jersey's law against using wireless devices while driving. It reduces the look-back period for prior offenses from 10 years to 3 years when determining if a second or third violation is a repeat offense. Additionally, it allows first-time offenders who complete an approved defensive driving course to have the violation removed from their driving record. These changes apply to violations of the existing law that prohibits handheld device use while operating a motor vehicle.
