NJMVC to Begin Implementing Law Requiring 50 Hours of Practice Driving for Under-21 Permit Holders.
Starting February 1, 2025, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) will begin implementing a law requiring permit holders under the age of 21 to complete a minimum of 50 hours of practice driving, 10 of which must be completed during hours of darkness, before they can be issued a probationary driver license.
This new requirement will be in place for permitted drivers who are under the age of 21 and issued either a special learner’s permit or examination permit on or after February 1, 2025. After these permitted drivers complete practice driving and pass their road tests, they must certify that they have completed the required supervised driving hours.
