NJ Cell Phone Ticket

Highland Park, NJ Cell Phone Ticket Attorney

Let’s be honest- the urge to pick up your phone when you drive is always there. Whether you are trying to multi-task while driving or want to call in your dinner on your way home from work, quickly grabbing your phone while driving is something many of us are guilty of at one time or another. Unfortunately, the state of New Jersey was one of the first states to outlaw the use of cell phones while driving and now has what is considered to be the toughest cell phone law in the nation. Since banning cell phones while driving in 2004, Highland Park has become a very popular place to get pulled over and ticketed for this relatively new driving offense. It is also a very common ticket to receive in addition to another offense (i.e. speeding and a cell phone ticket or running a stop sign and a cell phone ticket)

Governed by section 39:4-97.3 of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Act, cell phone tickets are an easy way for the Highland Park police to generate revenue. Here’s a look at some of the penalties attached to a Highland Park cell phone ticket:

• First offense: $200-$400
• Second offense within ten years: $400-$600
• Third offense: $600-$800 and the potential for a 90 day drivers’ license suspension and three points added to your driving record

What a Highland Park, NJ cell phone ticket lacks in points (for now) it makes up for in heavy fines-fines that can potentially be avoided if you hire the Law Offices of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt to fight your Highland Park cell phone ticket. As you can see from the list above, a third offense carries everything from fines to points to a three month drivers’ license suspension. It is also very likely that your auto insurance carrier will increase your rates-even after your first offense! Don’t pay your cell phone ticket without putting up a fight, especially if it is not your first offense.
