Careless driving Ticket Downgraded to Cheaper No-Point Ticket Careless Driving is that "catch-all" traffic ticket that can apply to almost any type of driving. The language of the statute is intentionally vague so that it may cover almost any situation. All that needs to happen is: 1) driving a vehicle without due caution or circumspection, and 2) a likelihood that this driving could endanger person or property.

Four Point Improper Passing Ticket Amended to Zero Point Ticket

Speeding and Reckless Driving Tickets Dismissed

As you or may not be aware, Speeding (N.J.S.A. 39:4-98) and Reckless Driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96) tickets often go hand-in-hand. If you are caught driving at a high rate of speed (101 MPH in a 65 MPH zone for instance), then the officer may, in addition to a Speeding ticket, issue you a traffic ticket for Reckless Driving based on the fact that your high rate of speed demonstrated a "willful or wanton disregard of the rights or safety of others, in a manner so as to endanger, or likely to endanger, a person or property." When judges see Speeding and Reckless driving tickets side-by-side, they are likely going to consider a suspension of your driving privileges for up to ninety (90) days, in addition to any fines and the ten (10) points the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission will assess. These penalties and repercussions seem vastly disproportionate for one minor instance of [...]

Third Cell Phone Ticket Amended to Delaying Traffic

Cell Phone Ticket License Suspension Since July 1, 2014, clients have been calling to obtain the services of my office for their cell phone violations. The reason why is because on July 1, 2014, the New Jersey Legislature amended the "hand-held portable electronic device" (i.e. cell phone) traffic violation. Specifically, they altered the punishments for such an offense by increasing the fines for second and third offenders, three (3) points on your drivers license for a third or subsequent offense, as well as implementing a license suspension for those individuals who have three of more cell phone ticket offenses. This often comes as a surprise to many residents since, in the past, officers, prosecutors and judges have openly accepted these pleas without advice on enhancing penalties since none existed before 2014. Many individuals find it unfair (and rightfully so) that they are now facing a loss of license when no [...]

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. Depending on your driving record, these two points may push you over the threshold for yearly DMV surcharges or an administrative suspension. Not to mention your car insurance rates may hike if your provider considers your careless driving as an indication of a "high-risk" driver. Considering all of these ancillary exposures you may be facing, it is imperative that you familiarize yourself not only with the law, but with the tactics and strategies utilized by skilled criminal and traffic attorneys.

Reckless Driving Ticket Dismissed for Middlesex County Commuter

Today, I resolved a traffic ticket matter for a Middlesex County commuter charged with Reckless Driving by having the charge dismissed completely. 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. Most commonly, clients who are charged with Reckless Driving are also charged with additional violations for Speeding 20-30 miles per hour or more over the limit, and any speeding cases where the clocked speed was greater than 100mph. In transient Middlesex County towns like New Brunswick, South Brunswick, Edison and Woodbridge, the major highways (i.e. U.S. Route 1, U.S. Route 9, Garden State Parkway, and N.J. Turnpike) create many temptations to drive fast in "willful or wanton disregard for [...]
