Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Re: speeding tickets with a provisional license

You could talk to the prosecutor first. Every one is different, so I see no way that I could tell you that one thing or another will happen. If you don't like what he or she says, I suggest you call an attorney. You can call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss. I have an office in Toms River.

Re: speeding tickets with a provisional license

The other attorney who answered this question gave reasonable general advice, but for your specific case it is crucial that you know that State policy prohibits prosecutors from plea-bargaining tickets for holders of provisional licenses. There are sometimes ways of dealing with this (I am often called upon to do so in my practice), but first you have to know the issue is there.

Your son already has 2 points. Getting any more points would violate his provisional license, requiring him to take remedial training and putting him on probationary status.

Your plan of trying to pay a surcharge to avoid the points may still result in the MVC considering your son to have violated his provisional license, even if you can get the prosecutor to do it and even though it is with a no-point violation.

Don't try this yourself. Your son's license and your insurance rates are at stake. The few hundred you save by not hiring a lawyer could cost you a lot more.
