jail. You should not drive illegally in NJ, because NJ scans plates going down the road, they can tell in 2 seconds if you dont have insurance, if your inspection has expired, or if anyone in your household is "wanted".

Another Answer

Driving without a proper driving license -- anywhere -- is against the law. If you are caught, and depending on how you were caught, the penalty can be a substantial fine and potentially time in jail.

Too frequently, people who drive without a driving license are involved in accidents, drive under the influence, or drive too fast, or drive an ill-equipped car. The moment you are stopped, you are caught.

Driving without a license is not smart.

There are two possibilities. If you happen to drive really well, even though you do not have a license, you may never be stopped by the police, and therefore they will never find out that you are driving without a license, and therefore you will get away with it. If, however, your driving is not that good, the police may stop you, and they will then discover that you do not have a license, at which point you will be charged with a crime, and will suffer such penalties as the courts will order. If, in the worst case, you get into an accident while driving without a license, the courts will take this very seriously, and you would be likely to go to jail.

Do you need to have a license to drive a car in new york state?

Currently (2011) in NYS adults 18 years of age and older DO need to have a Boating Safety Certificate (waht you call a license) in order to drive a PWC/Jetski but not a "boat" (ie not a jetski). Children who are ages 10 through 17 are required to have a Certificate/license to drive any vessel independently. Additionally, to drive a PWC/Jetski by yourself, you must be 14 years of age or older. HOWEVER, if you do not have a license you CAN drive a PWC/Jetski but ONLY if an adult who is 18years of age or older is on the ski with you and that adult has a certificate.
