New Jersey’s Point System and Excessive Points Statute
New Jersey uses a point system to track moving violations. Accumulating too many points leads to the state’s “Excessive Points” penalty. The law is defined under N.J.S.A. Title 39 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation). Specifically, drivers who accumulate 12 or more points on their current driving record face mandatory suspension. The Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) assesses surcharges of $100 per year for each point over six, payable for three years.
