Points
The number of points depends on the alleged speed over the limit and can affect your license status.
New Jersey Municipal Court Defense
New Jersey Speeding Ticket Lawyer
A speeding ticket can mean points, insurance increases, fines, and possible license problems. Before you pay it, know what the conviction can cost.
Do Not Treat a Speeding Ticket Like Just a Fine
In New Jersey, paying a speeding ticket is usually treated as a guilty plea. That plea can put points on your license, raise insurance costs, and create problems if you already have prior violations or drive for work.
If the ticket alleges a high speed, if you already have points, or if your job depends on your license, get advice before taking action.
