and this but im not sure if this is what im talking about. i clearly remember my lawyer telling me every NJ driver has 2 get out of jail free passes and told me to make sure i use them on higher point tickets. sorta remember him saying a 5 point ticket goes to a 2 pointer too.....so i could be somewhat wrong on my original statement ?

New Jersey Municipal Courts permit plea bargaining on all offenses except Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Drug Cases. In many instances, a municipal court prosecutor will down grade a 2 point speeding ticket to a 0 point ticket ( NJSA 39:4-97.2 - Unsafe Driving) without the necessity of being represented by counsel. This assumes that there are no extraordinary circumstances surrounding the speeding ticket that you received (no accident, no injuries, no problematic conversations between you and the police officer who issued the ticket and you have a good to fair driving record).

The New Jersey Legislature recognized that many good drivers make mistakes. They provided for those mistakes by creating a statute, specifically NJSA 39:4-97.2 Unsafe Driving. There are no points associated with that statute, however, the statute can only be used two times within a five year period. Should you pled guilty to NJSA 39:4-97.2 Unsafe Driving a third time within five years, DMV will assess 4 points against you.
