The New Jersey Point System

How do motor vehicle points affect my driving privileges?

• If you get six or more points within three years on your current driving record, you will be assessed a surcharge.

• If you get 12 or more points on your current driving record, your license will be suspended. You will receive a notice of scheduled suspension by mail.

When are motor vehicle points removed from my Driver’s Abstract?

3 points are removed for every 365 days that you do not commit another traffic offense.

What will the accumulation of motor vehicle points do to my insurance?

Motor vehicle points will most likely cause an increase in your insurance. Most insurance policies will increase once a person accumulates any kind of points for traffic offenses. Moreover, after a certain amount of accumulated points, many insurance companies will drop your coverage altogether.
