If you break traffic laws, your drivers license could be suspended or revoked. These traffic infractions may result in fines, suspensions and even imprisonment. The seriousness of your violations - and resulting penalties - are tracked by the MVC using a point system.
If you are convicted of a moving violation, the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission will penalize you by adding points to your driving record. You will only get points on your record for moving violations - points are not assessed for parking and other violations. A table is provided for more information on the number of points earned for specific violations
.
How do points affect you?
-
If you get six or more points within three years on your current driving record, you will be assessed a surcharge
-
If you get 12 or more points on your current driving record, your license will be suspended. You will receive a notice of scheduled suspension by mail
-
Getting points on your license may also increase your insurance rates.
How can I get a point reduction from my motor vehicle record?
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission keeps a permanent record of all the points you've earned. However it is possible to earn point reductions by remaining violation and suspension-free for one year or by taking a qualified driving courses approved by the NJ MVC.
