Gov. Chris Christie Tuesday put the brakes on legislation that would have required teenage drivers to clock an additional six months of practice time before getting a license, while forcing their parents to take an orientation course about their new, young drivers.
The driving bill, which would have affected about 100,000 teenage drivers and their white-knuckled parents in the passenger seat, was among 42 measures that Christie chose not to take up — an action known as a “pocket veto.”
His actions mark the end of the road for any bills passed by the 214th Legislature, which held its final marathon voting session last week.
