The New Jersey seat belt laws state that all drivers and front-seat passengers must wear a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt when traveling in any motor vehicle. However, certain individuals are exempt from this law. These include: anyone 16 years of age or older operating a motorcycle; drivers with disabilities who have been issued special permits by the Motor Vehicle Commission; those delivering newspapers, milk, bread or other similar items for commercial purposes (as long as they are not carrying passengers); persons using an emergency vehicle in their official capacity; medical personnel using ambulances responding to an emergency call; school bus operators and passengers (under 18 years of age); taxi cab drivers while transporting customers; non-emergency vehicles used by volunteer firefighters responding to calls outside the limits of their municipality; passengers riding in limousines operated under contract with a licensed carrier.
