TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has four months left in office, and afterward, it will be back to normal activities – including driving a car.

But is he really ready for that?

As WCBS 880's Kelly Waldron reported, Christie had multiple accidents and several points on his license before he took office. The way he sees it, New Jerseyans have been much safer over the past eight years when other people were driving him.

But the governor has gotten some behind-the-wheel practice in recent weeks. Christie's son, Patrick, just got his own driver's license.
