Motor Vehicle Commission Points
The New Jersey Motor Vehicles Commission (MVC) assesses points against your driving record for moving violations. If you accumulate 12 or more points within two years, your license will be suspended for thirty-days. If you accumulate 15 or more points in more than two year, there is also a thirty-day suspension. However, if you accumulate more than 12 but fewer than 15 points in a period of greater than two years, your license will be suspended for thirty days unless you send a notice to the MVC within ten days of the date of mailing indicating that you intend to attend a Driver Improvement Course. Suspensions are effective fifteen days from the date of the mailing of the notice by the MVC. In the event you fail to appear at any scheduled hearing or fail to attend class, your driving privilege will be suspended for thirty days or such time as is contained in the proposed notice of suspension. If you successfully complete a Driver's Improvement Course, your license will remain valid. However, if you receive a moving violation within the first year after completing the course, there will be a forty-five suspension. If a second offense is committed within one year of completion, the suspension shall be for ninety days. When a license can be restored following suspension, there is a $100 fee.
