In most states no due to the interstate compact. Most states will honor The NJ suspension of your NJ driving priveledges. Best to just not drive during your license suspension period up to and including when you become eligable to get your license restored and do so with the DMV. You do not want to risk possibly getting a driving while on the suspended while on a dwi suspension charge as that charge is very serious.

No you can't drive in other states with your NJ license nor can you get a license in most states if your license is suspended in NJ. Also the judge will take your NJ license if you get convicted, thus you will not have possession of your license to have it to drive or get a license in another state. Best bet is for you to get a good lawyer and see if you have a defense for you case, remember its not what you did but what they can prove. Good Luck

No. Your right to drive in that State is based on your license in NJ. You can switch to a State that is not in the compact and maybe be able to drive everywhere but NJ.

You will have no driver license, hence you cannot drive anywhere.

If you apply for a license in another state, you will be asked about your driving history. If you answer untruthfully, then you are doubling your problems: You will have a DUI on your record, and you can be prosecuted for lying on the other state's application. You can wind up with a criminal record. In our age of computers, all of your record will follow you. Why risk it?

No. You no longer have an NJ license at all until it is reinstated. Nor will you be able to get a license in almost any other state while suspended in NJ, and even if you can you will not be able to drive in NJ.
