Legally, you cannot: all 50 states are part of a "compact" or agreement that they will honor each other's traffic offenses and punishments therefore, as well as license suspensions and revocations. That doesn't mean that it's not possible that if you apply for a NJ license, that the MVC might not miss your suspension and let you have a license--anyone can make an error or overlook something--but they are not supposed to do that.
