Interstate Compacts
New Jersey belongs to two Interstate Compacts. Member
states exchange information to ensure driver compliance
with the law and that they receive penalties for
violations.
The National Driver License Compact
Ensures that out -of -state violations become part of
your NJ driving record. Two points are assessed for each
moving violation.
Under the New Jersey Court Rules, a New Jersey Attorney
can negotiate with the Municipal Court Prosecutor to
attempt to reduce points.
The following are the types of tickets we have handled to
request the new no point ticket. Our attorneys can appear
on your behalf without you having to go to court on the
following matters:
