High success rate among clients

A speeding ticket in New Jersey may seem minor, but it can carry significant consequences depending on how fast you were allegedly traveling. Speeding convictions can result in motor vehicle points, fines, court costs, and insurance increases that last well beyond the court date. The number of points assessed is based on how many miles per hour over the speed limit you are charged with, making even small differences in speed legally and financially important.

Points and Penalties for Speeding Tickets

In New Jersey, speeding violations can carry anywhere from two to five points depending on the alleged speed. Tickets for 1–14 miles per hour over the limit are typically two point offenses, while higher speeds can quickly add multiple points to your license. Accumulating points can lead to insurance surcharges, higher premiums, and potential license suspension if thresholds are reached.

How Speeding Tickets Are Proven

Speeding tickets are usually based on an officer’s observations, radar or laser readings, pacing, or a combination of methods. These cases often depend on whether the speed-measuring device was properly used, calibrated, and operated according to required procedures. Environmental conditions, traffic flow, and officer positioning can all be relevant in evaluating the strength of a speeding charge.
