Driving without liability insurance in New Jersey also has many other collateral consequences after going to Court for example : a driver must pay a $250 a year surcharge to motor vehicle services for three years. Plus a driver will be charged with 9 insurance eligibility points.
These insurance eligibility points will make it very expensive for any driver to obtain any type of motor vehicle insurance once your NJ drivers license is restored.
Additional penalties for being convicted for driving without insurance in NJ
Under NJSA: 39:5-31: A judge may suspend the driving privileges of any person he/she deems to be guilty of a “willful violation” of the law. In simplified layman terms this means that, if the driver knew or should have known, what he/she was doing was illegal or improper, (example running a red light or speeding double the limit or 30mph or more over the limit etc.) the judge may issue a license revocation or suspension to that person even if the particular statute has no provision for a license suspension.
A suspension under 39:5-31 is generally only given by a judge when a ticket is either:
- Marked with a mandatory court appearance or
- When an accident occurs as a result of the ticketed persons actions or
- If the person has a bad past driving record. (points may go away over time, but the violation stays on your record for life)
