New Jersey DMV Surcharge Attorney
In New Jersey, drivers can be subjected to additional fines from the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) depending on points accrued or the severity of the violation. This is called the New Jersey Surcharge System.
At The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron, we have provided legal advice and representation to drivers in New Jersey for more than 25 years. We understand the frustration drivers feel after getting supplemental fines from the state of New Jersey in addition to a judge's order. Surcharges are fines assessed by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission each year for drivers who have earned excessive points on their driving records or committed a serious, specific violation such as DUI.
There are collateral consequences to being found guilty of serious or repeat traffic violations in New Jersey. For example, if a driver has a first offense DUI conviction, a judge might fine him or her $500, and the driver might also get a bill from Trenton for $1000 per year for the next three years. The three most common violations are the following:
- Driving while suspended
- Failure to take Breathalyzer
- DWI or DUI
There are several other violations that can cost drivers extra fines, but the previous three are the most common. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer to discuss your options regarding motor vehicle surcharges in Bergen County.
