JERSEY YOUTH STICKER SHOCK

TRENTON — A first-in-the-nation law signed yesterday by New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine will require new drivers ages 21 and younger to display identifying decals on their cars.

The law takes effect next year.

Police will use them to determine whether teens are violating the state driving curfew and passenger restrictions.

“The parents are for it,” said Ron Gesualdo, owner of Gene’s Driving School in Matawan. “The kids don’t say anything, but you know what they’re thinking.”
