New Jersey’s young-driver law, which requires novice motorists to display a red decal on their cars’ license plates, doesn’t violate privacy protections, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled. The state’s highest court rejected a challenge to the statute, known as Kyleigh’s Law, which argued the provision unfairly singles out a class of motorists in the state, where the driving privileges for young motorists expand in stages, and violates constitutional protections.
The law properly covers only “the group of drivers who are at specific stages of New Jersey’s graduated driver’s license system, which governs only drivers who have permits or licenses issued by this state,” the court concluded. Kyleigh’s Law was designed to improve safety for teenage drivers by making them easily identifiable to police. The statute, which continue

Hilton Head Plantation has ratcheted up security after a spate of car break-ins last month resulted in the theft of a handgun and a high-speed chase.

Footage from a surveillance camera at the plantation’s front gate showed a guest pass on the dashboard of the suspect’s vehicle. Plantation records, though, showed no pass was ever issued to the person, continue 
At least 10 states have started outsourcing the driving test to cut costs and reduce congestion at offices that also handle vehicle licensing, according to a survey done by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators and USA TODAY research. South Carolina started a pilot program in June in 13 counties. Other states using third-party testers are Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Texas and Utah. The potential pitfall of farming out the test, officials at some of those states say, is the possibility of private companies not holding drivers to the same standards state testers use. “I think that for many of the states, the challenge is how do they manage their risk of fraud?” says Dave Muma, secretary of the Driving School Association of the Americas and owner of Century Driving Group in Holland, Mich continue
