Speeding: Potential Penalties

In New Jersey, violations for Speeding are punished by the addition of motor vehicle points on the defendant’s driver’s license. In cases involving violations for Speeding, the number of points imposed remains contingent upon the rate of speed at which the driver committed the violation. The penalties associated with this particular offense can entail the following:

  • 1-14 mph over the speed limit:2 motor vehicle points
  • 14-29 mph over the speed limit: 4 motor vehicle points
  • 30 mph or more over the speed limit: 5 motor vehicle points

Finding Representation for Your Speeding Case

The imposition of New Jersey Motor Vehicle points on your driver’s license can negatively impact you for a variety of reasons, from increasing insurance rates, to motor vehicle surcharges, to the eventual suspension of your license if you accumulate between 10 and 12 points over time. Thus, it is imperative to retain a defense attorney who can assist you in avoiding points on your license and the negative consequences that can result.
