Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) routinely updates its curricula to account for changes to the regulations governing drivers. The following changes have recently gone into effect in New Jersey:
- Provisional licenses are now referred to as probationary licenses.
- Seat belt use is now required for all vehicle occupants—including adults in the rear seat, who were previously exempt when an adult was at the wheel. A seat belt violation is a primary enforcement violation, except for an adult, rear-seat passenger, for whom it is a secondary enforcement violation.
- Drivers must now yield not only to pedestrians already in a crosswalk (or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection), but also to pedestrians waiting to enter a crosswalk where traffic is not regulated by traffic controls.
For affiliates offering TSC's Online Defensive Driving Course, these edits have already been incorporated into the Internet-based curriculum. For those of you who are offering live courses via a classroom, Donna will be contacting you about updating your materials.
