NJM, CHOP give teens chance to test driving skills at the doctor
For what two local groups say might be the first time anywhere in the country, teenagers in New Jersey are getting a chance to evaluate their driving aptitude at a doctor's office, during routine physicals.
The virtual driving assessment system is being made possible by a $4 million grant from NJM Insurance Group to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Care Network locations that offer primary pediatric care.

So far the only New Jersey office equipped with the system is in Somers Point, but the other Garden State destinations within the Care Network — Cape May, Gibbsboro, Mount Laurel, Smithville, and Salem Road in Burlington Township — should be getting it within the next three years.
