摘要：	In New Jersey, as is the case in many other jurisdictions, the reasons for drivers license suspension are diverse, complex and sometimes interrelated. License suspension in New Jersey is no longer only used to punish habitual bad driving. It is widely used as a punishment or deterrent for things completely unrelated to driving and as a means to compel appearance in court and/or payment of various fines, fees, and other financial obligations. Suspension patterns indicate that certain segments of the licensed driver population are more likely to be suspended than others. For all reasons, except suspensions for DUI and accumulation of motor vehicle points, drivers residing in urban and lower income zip codes are overrepresented. Suspension rates among male drivers residing in lower income areas are consistently the highest. The obvious and most direct impact of license suspension is loss of personal mobility. However, suspension may also have collateral and/or unintended consequences such as job loss, difficulty in finding employment, and reduced income. Consequences can also include other financial impacts, such as increased insurance premiums and other costs associated with suspension; as well as psychological and social impacts such as loss of freedom, increased stress, and family strain. Despite a limited menu of options to address the unintended or collateral impacts of suspension, there appear to be areas of possible reform in New Jersey. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2008-106876.
