What Can Cause a Driver’s License Suspension in New Jersey?
There are a number of reasons that your driver’s license can be suspended. Driver’s license suspensions vary according to the number of offenses (for example, a first offense can lead to suspension from seven months to one year, a second offense can lead to suspension of up to two years, and a third offense can lead to suspension of up to 10 years).
Here are some of the reasons that your driver’s license may be suspended in New Jersey:
- Receiving 12+ points on your driving record
- Refusing to take a breathalyzer test (New Jersey is an implied consent state for breathalyzer tests. This means that by driving on a New Jersey road, you inherently consent to a breathalyzer test following a DUI or DWI arrest.)
- Traffic infractions
- Being convicted of DUI or DWI
- Failing to appear in court or pay imposed fines
- Failing to provide proof of auto insurance
- Driving recklessly
- Being found at fault in a fatal accident
- Mental or physical disqualification
- Abandoning a vehicle on a state highway
- Being convicted of a crime
Regardless of what the reason is for your proposed driver’s license suspension, you need to hire a team to get the best results in your case and help you fully understand your rights and the possible outcomes.
Suspensions for Traffic Violations & Accumulation of Points
If you have committed traffic violations that caused you to accumulate excessive points on your driving record (12 or more points), the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission may suspend your driver’s license. You will receive a notice in the mail of your proposed driver’s license suspension. Then, you will be able to contest the proposed suspension in court after requesting a New Jersey DMV hearing. During the hearing, you will meet with a hearing officer, discuss your case, and review your overall driving record. In these cases, a driver’s license suspension period can range from 14-30 days.
