New Jersey Statute N.J.S.A. 39:3-74 clearly states that no vehicle may be operated with signs, posters, stickers, or any other non-transparent materials affixed to the front windshield or placed in a way that obstructs the driver’s view. This law applies to all drivers, including those with handicap placards. Police officers can—and do—issue tickets for these violations, and the fines can add up. An obstructed view is not just a legal issue, it’s a safety issue. Whether it’s a placard, air freshener, or even a dashboard ornament, anything that blocks your forward or peripheral vision is a potential hazard. Clear visibility is a basic but crucial element of safe driving.
