Careless Driving Motor Vehicle Points Avoided

New Jersey Traffic Ticket Attorneys One of the most commonly issued traffic tickets in New Jersey is Careless Driving, under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97. While the court fine itself is relatively minimal, the two Motor Vehicle Commission imposed points associated with this charge, can have lasting and damaging repercussions.

Reckless Driving Ticket Dismissed for Middlesex County Commuter

The client ended up owing the court nothing in terms of fines or penalties, and did not have any violation added to the client's driver's abstract. Reckless Driving is a 5-point ticket in New Jersey, and can also carry with it a license suspension, and in some cases even jail time.
