Driver License Compact
Back to Topic Index
- Similar Offense
- A New York conviction for driving while impaired is substantially similar in nature to New Jersey's offense of driving while under the influence since both statutes have as their principal focus the competence of a driver to operate a motor vehicle safely. Decision: 5 N.J.A.R. 285
- Suspension
- Where the Interstate Driver License Compact is clear in providing, for a choice between the suspension penalty imposed by the foreign state and the suspension mandated by the home state, a licensee may not argue that it has paid the penalty imposed by the foreign state and that the home state should not impose an additional suspension. Decision: 5 N.J.A.R. 182
