NJ tags novice drivers with ID decal

Beware: There’s a beginner on board. Officials say New Jersey has become the first state to require new drivers to display identifying decals on their vehicles in an attempt to curb teen driving deaths. The law was signed Wednesday by Gov. Jon S. Corzine and takes effect next year. Motor vehicle officials say the decals will probably be a small reflective rectangle attached to the front and rear license plates to help police enforce restrictions for provisional drivers.
