Improper Passing, No Passing Zone, NJSA 39:4-86

Improper passing is a 4 point New Jersey moving violation. In addition to the four points, you will face heavy fines and possible insurance rate hikes. Moreover, if you already have points on your NJ license, you could be assessed motor vehicle surcharges, or a motor vehicle imposed license suspension. Do not let this happen to you. I am a NJ traffic ticket attorney and Municipal Court lawyer. I represent clients throughout New Jersey, and appear regularly in the Newark Municipal Court. I get the results you want, and keep your driving record as clean as possible.
