Points System in New Jersey

Learn More about How Infractions Affect Your Driving Record

In New Jersey, each traffic violation is assigned a unique point value that will go on your license. With too many points, your license will be subject to suspension or revocation, and you will no longer have driving privileges. Knowing the law can help you make wise choices when you are presented with a ticket. If you face a traffic ticket, contact the New Jersey traffic ticket lawyer at Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C. for help.

When Too Many Points Becomes a Problem

A single traffic ticket is not a serious problem. As long as you drive perfectly for the next few years, you will not have anything to worry about. However, if you have a more serious violation in the years ahead, having a prior ticket can make the consequences far worse, including skyrocketing insurance rates and more serious consequences for future infractions.

In New Jersey, having six points on your record within three years makes you subject to surcharges. Once you accumulate 12 or more points on your record, your license can be suspended.

Point values vary depending on what happened and how many other offenses are already on your driving record.

Those point values are:

  • Speeding over the limit – 2-5
  • Leaving the scene of an accident (property damage) – 2
  • Leaving the scene of an accident (with injury) – 8
  • Improper cellphone use or texting – 3 (on third offense)
  • Running a red light or stop sign – 2
  • Following too closely or tailgating – 5
  • Improper passing – 4
  • Failure to stop for a school bus – 5
  • Reckless driving – 5

    "Martin and Vanessa are superlative professionals, and I can't recommend them highly enough!"
    Martin took on my case for a flat rate and guaranteed a full refund if he couldn't reverse the suspension. Three weeks later, my license was fully restored!

    "Very easy to reach either him or his office."
    Martin is an excellent attorney. He got the results I needed and it was very easy to reach either him or his office. Martin will be the only red light/speeding attorney that I ever use.

    "No fine and no points on my license!"
    Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!

    "He did the IMPOSSIBLE!"
    I almost never write reviews, but he did the impossible today which warrants a review.

    "Attentive, grade A service"

    I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

    "Very professional and quick."
    I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.

    "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

    "Got me a great outcome!!"
    Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!
