New Jersey Law on Excessive Points
New Jersey uses a point system to track moving violations. Accumulating 12 or more points within two years can result in a license suspension. The Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) assesses surcharges of $100 per year for each point over six, payable for three years. Common violations in Camden County that add points include speeding (2-5 points), reckless driving (5 points), and careless driving (2 points). The goal of an excessive points lawyer is to negotiate charge reductions to minimize points and avoid suspension.
