Frequently Asked Questions
How many points is a speeding ticket in Camden County, New Jersey?
It depends on speed. In New Jersey: 1-14 mph over = 2 points; 15-29 over = 4 points; 30+ over = 5 points. Aggressive driving = 5 points. At 6+ points, NJ adds surcharges of $100/year per excess point for 3 years. An attorney can often negotiate charge reductions to minimize points.
Can I fight a traffic ticket in Camden County, NJ?
Yes. NJ traffic cases are heard by a Municipal Court judge. Plea bargaining is allowed and common. An attorney can negotiate to reduce charges, which can save points and thousands in insurance surcharges. Court costs are $33 per ticket, but the long-term financial impact of points is much greater.
What are NJ insurance surcharges for traffic tickets?
NJ assesses surcharges on top of fines: $100/year per point over 6 (for 3 years) and a $250/year Unsafe Driver Surcharge for 3+ violations in 3 years. A defensive driving course removes 2 points. An attorney can negotiate charge reductions that minimize point and surcharge impact.
Is aggressive driving a criminal offense in New Jersey?
No. Aggressive driving under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.2 is a serious traffic violation, not a criminal offense. It is heard in Municipal Court, not criminal court. However, a conviction results in 5 points on your license, significant fines, and substantial insurance surcharges.
What is the difference between reckless and aggressive driving in NJ?
Reckless driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96) is a single act of driving with willful disregard for safety. Aggressive driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.2) requires proof of two or more specific moving violations during a single episode. Both carry 5 points, but the defenses differ.
