An Overview of Traffic Violations We Handle in New Jersey

Putterman Legal is a defense firm that puts clients first. We handle all types of traffic violations, including both criminal and non-criminal issues. Our firm invests the time, resources, and attention to detail to handle each and every case the right way. Along with other traffic offenses in New Jersey, our firm has experience with: 

• Speeding (N.J.S.A. 39:4-98): Speeding is one of the most frequently cited traffic violations in New Jersey. The penalties will depend largely on how far over the posted speed limit the driver was traveling. Fines, points, and insurance increases rise with higher speed. At extreme speeds, a driver could face a reckless driving offense. 
• Reckless Driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96): Reckless driving involves operating a vehicle with willful or wanton disregard for the safety of others. It is more serious than careless driving and carries heavier fines, points, and possible jail time. A conviction could lead to a steep insurance surcharge and even a license suspension for repeat offenders.
• Driving While Suspended (N.J.S.A. 39:3-40): Driving with a suspended or revoked license is a serious offense in New Jersey. The penalties include mandatory fines, extended suspension periods, and potential jail terms for repeat violations. Under state law, courts also impose surcharges through the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
• Failure to Stop at a Red Light or Stop Sign (N.J.S.A. 39:4-81): Ignoring traffic control devices is a common violation with real safety risks. A conviction brings fines, points on your license, and higher insurance premiums. 
• Driving Without Insurance (N.J.S.A. 39:6B-2): All motorists must have the proper liability coverage. Indeed, operating a vehicle without valid liability insurance is heavily penalized in New Jersey. A first-time offense brings fines, community service, surcharges, and mandatory license suspension. A second offense can carry jail time. 

What to Know About Points and License Suspensions in New Jersey

New Jersey tracks traffic violations through a point system managed by the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). Each moving violation adds a set number of points to a driver’s record, usually between two and five points. Drivers who accumulate twelve or more points face a license suspension. If you are at risk of a suspension based on points, it is important to consult with a New Jersey traffic defense lawyer.
