Una persona también tiene prohibido operar un vehículo bajo la influencia de drogas ilícitas. Si el conductor del vehículo motorizado está bajo la influencia y también es menor de edad, el estado aplica una Política de Tolerancia Cero. Esta política para infractores menores de edad prohíbe que cualquier persona menor de la edad legal para beber (21 años) conduzca un vehículo con un BAC de .02 o mayor. Para determinar su concentración de alcohol en la sangre, NJ emplea el uso de una prueba de aliento, análisis de orina, muestra de sangre y / o una prueba estándar de sobriedad de campo.
