Being pulled over by the police can be both frustrating and embarrassing. Regardless of how courteous you are to the officer, you could receive a ticket if they determine you’ve violated a traffic law. You could contest this in traffic court, but that would require time and money, and there’s no guarantee of a favorable outcome. Ignoring the ticket and stashing it in the glove box is not a solution either! That can lead to even more trouble. While receiving a ticket can negatively impact your insurance rates, it’s best to settle them promptly.<\/p>\n

Increased Fines and Suspension of Driver’s License<\/h2>\n

Avoid exacerbating the situation by committing another violation! If you thought the initial fine was hefty, it could double if you miss the payment deadline. Review the citation on your ticket and follow the instructions to avoid making a costly mistake. In New Jersey, you can settle this online, by mail, or at a designated court location. If you fail to make the payment, your license could be suspended, making it illegal for you to drive. You may even have a warrant issued for your arrest! There are also further legal complications to consider that can have serious long-term consequences for your driving record. If you genuinely believe you have a case, you may certainly argue for it in court. However, it’s best to settle the fine in most situations.<\/p>\n
