Is It Illegal To Drive Shirtless in New Jersey?

When doing some digging, it turns out it is technically not illegal to drive shirtless in New Jersey, but it is frowned upon. I feel like this absolutely makes sense because when you drive down the shore, everyone is just driving around in a bathing suit.

If you’re driving around in New Jersey this summer, keep yourself safe and avoid any issues by just throwing on a shirt or coverup. I know it’s really hot out there, but take the extra second to throw on that oversized tee before hitting the turnpike. Be safe out there!
