Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

A couple of months ago I had a minor accident when a girl in front of me had stopped at a yeild sign than started to go and slammed on her brakes. I was charged with no insurance because I did not have my card on me. I went to court and showed my insurance crad and they dismissed the "no insurance' charge. I recieved a fine because I had gotten a careless driving ticket sent in the mail from the officer who responded to the accident. The careless driving was down-graded to a fine and the no insurance was dropped. Now a month later I recieved a letter stating I was being charged with no insurance for this same accident. Now my question is "isn't this considered double-jeopardy"? For what reason can they charge me with this charge again?

Call the court. The notice was probably issued by the court's computer in error.

Call me, if you like, if a phone call to the court does resolve the problem.
