  • New Jersey Speeding Ticket Consequences

    Of course, if you are issued a speeding ticket in the state of New Jersey, you may be subject to significant fines, points on your driving record, and various other penalties. Speeding is one of the most common traffic violations and even though it seems like everyone finds themselves going a few miles per hour over the speed limit, a ticket is nothing that should be taken lightly. The points system in New Jersey for speeding are as follows:

    • Speeding 1-14 miles per hour over the speed limit results in a 2-point violation
    • Speeding 15-30 miles per hour over the speed limit results in a 4-point violation
    • Speeding more than 30 miles per hour or more over the speed limit results in a 5 point violation

    If you have accumulated 6 or more points on your driving record, New Jersey will likely issue you a surcharge. Of course, the penalties become more severe the more points you acquire. Once you acquire 12 or more points on your driving record, the state will suspend your driver’s license. It is important to note that if this happens, or if you acquire any number of points, you have the opportunity to take certain courses that can remove points from your record. These state-given driving courses can help you avoid increased insurance premiums as well as a loss of driving privileges.

  • Plea Bargaining Traffic Tickets

    The state of New Jersey will generally allow you to plea bargain a speeding ticket. A plea bargain is when the court negotiates a traffic ticket with you to reduce an offense to a lesser infraction, ultimately reducing the penalties. Of course, the opportunities for a plea bargain depend heavily on whether you have previous offenses and what those offenses are. If you have been charged with driving under the influence in New Jersey, it is important to note that you cannot plea bargain your ticket.
