New Jersey Traffic Attorney

A traffic violation can be as minor as failing to signal when changing lanes or as serious as reckless endangerment. With such a wide range of traffic violations comes a wide range of penalties. Some traffic offenses require, or give discretion, to a Court to impose a term of license suspension, community service or even jail time if one is convicted or pleads guilty.  

Such Violations Include:  

• Driving While Intoxicated (See DWI/DUI)
  
• Driving While License/Registration Suspended (N.J.S.A. 39:3-40)
• Driving Without Insurance (N.J.S.A. 30:6b-2)
• Leaving the Scene of an Accident (N.J.S.A. 39:4-129)
• Reckless Driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96)
• Driving While in Possession of a CDS (N.J.S.A. 39:4-49.1)

Other violations, such as speeding or failing to stop, may not result in a court handing down the same harsh penalties, but, nonetheless, can have devastating effects on an individual. For example, many of these types of violations result in “points” being assessed to ones’ license, which then may result in other, collateral consequences that are later taken by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) (See our Points & Code section).
