    A quick google search answers many questions. According to the website http://www.njteendriving.com,

    The NJ Motor Vehicle Commission is charged with designing and distributing the decal, which must be displayed on a vehicle’s front and rear license plate when a permit or provisional license holder under 21 years of age is driving. The decal will be:

    •Affixed with a velcro system to allow for its removal when GDL holder is not behind the wheel.
    •Reflectorized so it can be seen at night
    •Non-descript (it is intended for law enforcement purposes)
    •$4 per pair at MVC agencies (Note: MVC is developing a bulk purchase program for driving and high schools, police departments and other organizations)

    A few comments for all you naysayers –

    First, it is supposed to be “non-descript” – so we won’t tell registered sex offenders what this reflectorized, easily seen at night thing attached with velcro to our kids’ plates is. That way, we don’t have to worry about that issue – the bad guys won’t know.

    Second, it attaches with velcro, so when mom & dad are driving at night they can just take it off. When the kids illegally drive with a bunch of friends at night, they can attach it so the police know to pull them over, making our roads safer.

    Third, it’s only four bucks, so the govenrment is only taking a tiny bit of your money as a fee (it isn’t a tax) just to cover their costs (with a little extra to cover the cost of the commission that was set up to figure this whole thing out.)

    See, it’s a toally logical law that will help us all live better lives. What’s wrong with that?

    this is why IJ, sometimes does not fully research a story and bring to light the many facets of an article w/o many of us going off, like it’s a bad thing.

    thanks for the research and letting us know.
