Some traffic violations can have serious consequences. After a traffic charge, what will happen? Can't you just pay the ticket? Should you? Will you have to appear in court? How much will it cost? Law Office of Charles E. Tempio, is here to help New Jersey drivers get informed and face these charges with confidence. We are committed to attentive service and tenacious representation.
There is a wide range of traffic violations that can propel a driver into municipal court in New Jersey. I have helped many people successfully address these charges, and I can help you understand your rights and work with you through the legal process if you are facing charges related to:
Speeding
DUI
Reckless driving
Driving on a suspended license
Driving without a license
While some of these violations may seem somewhat trivial, the consequences associated with these infractions can have a significant impact on your daily life.
Restrictions on your driving or the loss of driving privileges entirely can affect your employment, your daily activities, your family, and much more.
The state of New Jersey considers driving a privilege, not a right. They will impose a variety of consequences on drivers for a wide range of offenses. While it can be
possible in some cases to pay a ticket and move forward, this is not always the case. Additionally, it's essential to understand the potential consequences of a
traffic violation conviction, which can include:
Fines. Traffic tickets for speeding, improper passing, failure to stop, and other infractions are typically accompanied by fines, which range in amount according to the severity of the violation.
Points. Driving behavior is monitored through a points system, in which a driver accumulates points for different violations and is penalized when enough points are accrued.
Surcharge. When a driver has accumulated six points in three years or convicted of DUI or driving on a suspended license, he may be forced to pay an annual surcharge. This can range from $150 for simple infractions to $4,500 for more serious offenses.
License Suspension. It is possible to lose driving privileges with a license suspension, either from one serious violation or the accrual of 12 or more points. The length of the suspension can depend on the severity of the offense and driving record.
Driving Class. The state offers courses that can be used to deduct points from a license. In some cases, drivers can elect to pay for and take these classes on their own, while other drivers may be required to complete a course as a traffic violation consequence.
Jail Time. In some serious cases, traffic violations result in jail time.
Increased Insurance Rates. As a driver accumulates violations and points to his driver's license, auto insurance companies may raise the price to insure a vehicle. Auto insurance is mandatory in New Jersey, and failure to maintain a policy is met with legal consequences.
Immigration Issues. For non-citizens, traffic violations can have serious implications for legal status in the U.S. Immigration officials can issue a change in status or.deport individuals who fail to comply with traffic law.
