• Penalties For Speeding In New Jersey

Fines for speeding in New Jersey are stiff, starting at $85 for 1-9 mph over the limits, up to $260 for driving 35-39 mph over the posted limit. Additional fees include:

●     A mandatory $33 fee for challenging the ticket;

●     A surcharges for drivers with six or more points of speeding tickets during a three year period; and

●     A surcharge of $150 for every point over six.

Points are assessed based on how much above the speed limit you’re charged with driving. In addition, the offense will appear on my driving record for the rest of your life, making you ineligible for employment that requires a “clean record.” Insurance companies usually raise their rates by at least 15% for a single speeding ticket with two points, and rates can go up much more for more severe offenses. That’s why it’s important to speak to an experienced New Jersey traffic violations attorney about getting the charges reduced or dismissed. Call Allan H.
