New Jersey Senate committee advances bill for lower driving violation fines

New Jersey’s Senate Transportation Committee has advanced a bill that would lower the fines for drivers caught driving without their licenses on them.

The example of a soccer mom running late to came was used to promote the bill, which would lower the fines for offenders who can prove they had a valid license, registration and insurance at the time of the stop, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Judges will also have the ability to dismiss the charges.
