Points for A New Jersey Speeding
If you’ve received a speeding ticket in New Jersey, you may be facing fines, points on your license, and increased insurance rates. Whether you were caught speeding in Ocean County, Monmouth County, or anywhere in NJ, understanding the consequences of a N.J.S.A. 39:4-98 speeding violation is crucial.
Speeding violations also add points to your driving record, which can lead to license suspension:
1-14 mph over the limit → 2 points
15-29 mph over the limit → 4 points
30+ mph over the limit → 5 points
⚠️ If you receive 12 or more points, your license will be suspended for at least 30 days. Additionally, if you're caught driving 30 mph or more over the speed limit, you may also be issued a reckless driving ticket, adding another 5 points to your record.
How a Speeding Ticket Affects Your NJ Auto Insurance
A speeding conviction remains on your NJ driving record for life. Insurance companies review these records and may increase your premiums. Studies show a single speeding ticket can increase rates by up to 15%.
New Jersey Speeding Ticket Fines
