Careless or Reckless Driving in New Jersey

New Jersey Careless or Reckless Driving Attorney

It is not uncommon for a police officer to issue a careless or reckless driving ticket in conjunction with a speeding ticket if you are traveling at a rate of speed far in excess of the posted speed limit.   Police officers also routinely issue careless or reckless driving tickets when they charge you with a  DWI.

If you have been charged with reckless or careless driving or received  tickets for speeding or DWI (driving under the influence) in New Jersey, you should speak with an experienced Municipal Court and traffic attorney about your options.

A ticket for careless driving under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97 can result in a $400 fine, 15 days in jail and 2 motor vehicle points.

A person convicted of reckless driving under N.J.S.A. 39:4-96 could face a $1000 fine, 3 months in jail and 5 motor vehicle penalty points along with 5 insurance eligibility points.
