Traffic Tickets

Traffic tickets are relatively common in New Jersey. Despite this, “common” should not be equated with “minor”. When you see flashing lights in your rear-view mirror, the sense of anxiety you likely feel is entirely justified. Traffic tickets are always expensive from a financial perspective, but if you accumulate 12 points on your driving record, you could even lose your license. Our New Jersey traffic ticket attorney can help you if this happens.

Although it might be tempting to pay for the ticket and put it in the past, that is never really an option. Points from a traffic ticket remain on your record well after you’ve paid your fine—and for more serious traffic violations, a court appearance may be required. Fighting a traffic ticket can keep your car insurance premiums low and protect your driving privileges—whether now or in the future if you get another ticket.

With The Law Offices of Michele Finizio, your first meeting with your New Jersey traffic ticket attorney is free. In your free initial consultation, an experienced traffic violation lawyer in Cherry Hill, NJ will sit down with you, listen to what happened, and explain what the firm can do to help. Call or contact the firm to schedule your free case review today.

The Law Offices of Michele Finizio Handles All New Jersey Traffic Ticket Cases

New Jersey has a point system that applies to traffic tickets. Generally, a certain number of points are added to your driving record depending upon the severity of the violation. If you get too many points on your record, your driving privileges can be suspended.

Insurance companies also have access to your driving record and use it to measure how much risk you present. In other words, the more points you have on your record, the higher your car insurance premiums will be.

The Law Offices of Michele Finizio helps clients beat all types of traffic tickets, including:

  • Speeding tickets
  • Reckless driving
  • Careless driving
  • Driving without insurance
  • Driving with a suspended license
  • DUI/DWI
  • Leaving the scene of an accident that caused an injury
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Failure to yield
  • Improper passing
  • Racing
  • And more

Sometimes the police officer will cite you for multiple traffic violations in a single stop. The risk of accumulating a significant number of points on a single occasion makes it particularly important to fight every single traffic ticket you receive—even if the charge is only a two-point violation.

Traffic Tickets Carry Significant Penalties in NJ

In addition to points, traffic tickets assign financial penalties based on the severity of the offense—which can quickly add up. For example, a $500 fine applies if you are cited for driving with a suspended license, along with a six-month extension of the suspension period. Additional penalties if you don’t fight the traffic ticket include:

  • If you accumulate six or more points on your record within a three-year period, a points-based surcharge of $125 plus $25 for every point over six will apply for three years (for some violations, like DUI/DWI and refusing a breath test, the surcharges are higher and automatic)
  • If you accumulate 12 points in less than two years, your driver’s license will be suspended for at least 30 days
  • Increased car insurance premiums that can last for years
  • Potential jail time in the most serious cases, such as leaving the scene of an accident

The good news is, points can come off your record—three points drop off for every single year you go without a traffic violation. Defensive driving courses can also help you get two points removed every five years.

However, by the time the points come off your record, the damage may already be done in terms of your car insurance rates. The Law Offices of Michele Finizio is here to help you take action and keep your record clean. Call today for a free case review to learn more about your options.
