I doubt it. And if you drive to the DMV then the inspector may just give you a ticket, too.

It doesn't look like you would have to unless it's been over three years from the expiration date. The following is from the following link... http://www.dmv.org/nj-new-jersey/renew-license.php What You Should Bring When you go to renew your license, you should take the $24 processing fee in the form of cash or a check, since no credit cards are accepted. You will also need to bring acceptable identification that satisfies the state's six-point verification program. The MVC is strict about these documents, so make sure in advance of your visit that you've got what you need. In order for your renewal to go smoothly, the MVC recommends that you visit its offices during the middle of the day, week, and month to avoid long lines. If you have other questions about renewing your license, you can call the MVC customer support center, which is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4:15 p.m., at (888) 486-3339. If Your License is Expired If you allow your license to remain expired for over three years, to reapply you must retake all three tests (vision, written and road). If you're going to be out-of-state when your license expires, the MVC recommends renewing before you leave. Most licenses can be renewed six months prior to the expiration date.

Were you in a hospital in a coma for the past year? Don't you get a renewal notice mailed to you?
