Tips For Removing Points From Your Driving Record In Secaucus, New Jersey

Secaucus is a small New Jersey town located in Hudson County. With just over 47 miles of roadways within the town lines, local police are always on the lookout for any type of moving violation. When it comes to getting a traffic ticket in Secaucus, this is something you will almost always want to try to fight. Not only can fighting a traffic ticket help to reduce or eliminate the fines, fees and surcharges you are facing but can also help make sure that you are keeping the points on your driving record to a minimum. The Law Offices of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt can help.

In Secaucus, if you have twelve or more points on your driving record, you license will be suspended. It is no secret that New Jersey is a driving state so the implications of a suspended license can be devastating for many individuals and families. Just think for a minute how you would get to work and all the other errands you run without the ability to drive for an extended period of time. It won’t be easy or cheap! When you pay your Secaucus traffic ticket you also plead guilty to the offense and accept the points on your record- something many people don’t realize since that reality is not something that the police advertise. If you are getting dangerously close to the 12 point maximum, there are ways to help take off some of the points on your record, here’s a look at the options:

  • 1 year or no traffic violations or suspensions: take away 3 points
  • Participate in a defensive driving program: take away 2 points (may be used once every five years)
  • Participation in a driver improvement program: take away 3 points (may be used once every two years)
  • Participation in a probationary driver program: take away 3 points

Subtracting some much-needed points from your driving record might be just the thing you need to avoid a suspension and stay on the road. If you are dealing with a potential drivers’ license suspension, there are options available to you! Reducing points is just one such option a Secaucus traffic ticket attorney can help you with.
