New Jersey Municipal Court Tickets If you received the ticket in Ne Jersey, such as in the Palisades Interstate Police Court, Bergen County Municipal Court, Newark Municipal Court, Fort Lee, Jersey City or Mahwah Municipal Court to name a few, we can help you out.  Unfortunately, unless you live very far away from the New Jersey Municipal court in question, you usually have to show up in person with us.  Usually we can work out a plea bargain whereby you will pay a fine but get no or less points. Scan and email me your ticket to NY Traffic Ticket Defense Attorney  or fax it to 877-742-2268 and make sure include your email address on your fax so that I can respond ASAP.  Or call 800-768-3234.

The New York Driver Violation Point System

The NY DMV driver violation point system is used by the State of New York to identify bad drivers.

Someone who gets convicted of three speeding violations within an 18-month period, regardless of how many driver violation points you have.  Also, if someone gets 11 points within 18 monts, they are also suspended.  Other reasons to be suspended are for failure to answer a ticket, or pay a fine, or for failure to pay the Driver Responsibility 

This table lists the number of points given for specific traffic violations:

Violation Points Violation Points
Speeding (MPH over speed limit not indicated) 3 Following too closely 4
Speeding (MPH over speed limit): Passing improperly, changing lanes unsafely, driving to the left of center, driving in the wrong direction 3
1 - 10 MPH 3 
11 - 20 MPH 4 Failed to obey a traffic signal, a Stop sign, or a Yield sign 3
21 - 30 MPH 6 Railroad crossing violation 3
31 - 40 MPH 8 Failed to yield the right-of-way 3
More than 40 MPH 11 Passenger safety violation, including seat belt and child safety seat violations for passengers under the age of 16 3
Reckless driving 5 Left the scene of an accident that includes property damage or the injury of a domestic animal 3
Failed to stop for a school bus 5 Other moving violations 2
Inadequate brakes 4 Inadequate brakes (vehicle of an employer) 2
How the DMV Calculates Your Point Total

The DMV computer system automatically calculates your point total as follows:

You must be convicted of the traffic violation for the points to be added to your point total, but the calculation of your point total is based on the date of the violation, not the date of the conviction.
The points for violations that all occurred within the last 18 months of one another are added together to calculate your point total.
The record of the conviction, and the points, are listed on your driver record for as long as the conviction remains on your record. The information about the conviction and points is not removed after 18 months from the violation date. Only the calculation of your point total changes. Learn more about convictions and your driver record.
Point Total Example

You are convicted of a 3-point violation and the violation occurred on January 1, 2009. You are later convicted of a 4-point violation that occurred on July 1, 2010. Your point total includes the points from both violations, because they both occurred with a single 18-month period. Your point total is 7 points.

In about 2005, there was a change to the law, adding a new tax known as the Driver Responsibility Program.  The Law now requires drivers who are convicted of specific traffic violations to pay an assessment to the DMV. The Driver Responsibility Program applies to all drivers who operate, or operated, a motor vehicle in the State of New York, regardless of the state the motorist is licensed in. The purpose of the Driver Responsibility Program is to gain revenue for the State of New York and to encourage good driving.   Failure to pay the DRA, leads to suspension and if you are caught driving after that, you can be arrested and charged with aggravated unlicensed driver, which is a misdemeanor - a crime in NY punishable by up to 30 days in jail.
