Hi Matt - It is 2 points. Have a good day. Funny, I gave someone that ticket today. He was a real ass too. Definite online geek. Wearing a fsck you T-shirt.

There ya go


EDIT: I added the other bit for humor but the points are right.

You sure your friend is a NJ State Trooper? I called Cranford municipal court this mornign and the clerk said its a non-point violation and carries an $85 fine. I asked her if she is 100% sure, and she said I can call the DMV in Trenton to confirm.

Got nailed going 69 in a 55 last week. The officer gave me a "lesser" ticket for "Failure to observe posted GSP signs"

The statute number for the violation he wrote up is 19:9-1.3

Google returned some hits with penalties as far as the monetary fine, but I can't figure out whether or not this is considered a point-violation.

Judging from this PDF, I am assuming its no points since the rest of those violations dont look like point violations, but I cant be sure.

Anyone with some experience have any clue?
Here is a link to the NJ DMV point schedule page.


From the NJ Courts website:

Offense 19:9-1.3 Failure To Obey Traffic Signs Or Signals
Pay by Date 01/29/08
Penalty Due $85.00


I guess I could wait until the A.M. and call the local court, but I would like to know now so I can pay this and get it over with if its no points.

woah.. the cop stopped u for going only 14 over the speed limit? usually it's 15+ over.

the ticket actually said 69 in a 55 zone?

hm.. i gota slow down to 9 over the speed limit then while in Jersey

Usually 14 over wont get you pulled over, I normally do 70 in a 55 with no problems. This guy probably just needed to fill his quota or something. As stated in the OP, he didnt end up giving me a ticket for speeding, it was for a different offense which I am trying to find out the penalty for. Thats what the thread is about. (Read much? LOL)

any updates?

Not yet, I am lazy. Called the DMV once and got fed up of being on hold so I hung up. Will try again this week.

If it is points, then call these people. You will be paying the same price as that fine for the service, you wont have to go to court, and you can kiss those points goodbye.

Ticket Clinic

I always use them now. They have never failed me. Also, these guys might also be able to answer your question about it being worth points or not.

Stop speeding in my town! Only I'm allowed to do that.
