A New Jersey Reckless driving ticket carries five points. If you receive a New Jersey speeding ticket for exceeding the speed limit up to and including 14 miles over the speed limit, that ticket carries 2 points. A speeding ticket where you exceed the limit by 15 or more up to and including 29 miles per hour, that violation carries 4 points. If you exceed the speed limit by 30 or more miles per hour that violation carries 5 points and Municipal Court Judges are inclined to suspend your license for a period of time for driving at that rate of speed.

New Jersey Municipal Courts permit plea bargaining on all offenses except Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Drug Cases. In many instances, a municipal court prosecutor will down grade a 2 or 4 point speeding ticket to a 0 point ticket ( NJSA 39:4-97.2 - Unsafe Driving) without the necessity of being represented by a New Jersey speeding ticket attorney. You have to pay the fine, a $250 surcharge and $30 in court costs. It is unusual for the court to allow this for a 5 point ticket unless you do have a New Jersey attorney.

The kicker is that you can only use this twice during a five year period. If you accidently do this, and many people do, the New Jersey DMV will assess 4 points against your New Jersey drivers license.
