Car Insurance Question  I live in New Jersey, however I received 2 tickets in Delaware. One for driving 5 over the speed limit (60 mph in a 55) and another for aggressive driving. Delaware has informed me that my violations total 8 points. My question is this, since I'm licensed in NJ, will NJ assess points to my driver license and if so, how many? Thanks!

The state of New Jersey belongs to two Interstate Compacts. These compacts allow member states to exchange information regarding driving records to ensure driver comply with the law and that they receive penalties for violations. One part of the Nonresident Violator Compact, that NJ is member of, requires drivers to fulfill the terms of traffic citations received in member states or face the possibility of license suspension in their home state.

NJ is also a member of the National Driver License Compact that ensures out-of-state violations become part of your home (NJ) driving record. New Jersey has decided that out-of-state violations are assessed two points for each moving violation. This should mean that your 2 citations in Delaware should be only 4 points on your NJ license. To keep you license from being suspended though make sure you take care of your Delaware citations.

Visitor Comments
car insurance commentsFirst of all, if anyone is concerned about "driving" never use the word and instead use the term "traveling". In expo facto law, that is a chargeable offense to say that you are driving. This terminology is used deliberately to extract "fiat" from you for your right to travel freely. Driving is considered a priviledge in the courts, but always contest it by the constitutionality of its purpose. Look in the "Blacks Law Dictionary" for the word driving. It states that driving is an excise tax instrument used in a corporate capacity, meaning in commerce ONLY. Traveling in your conveyance is enjoyable, leisure, and pleasurable and therefore your not acting in COMMERCE!!! Tell the TRUTH. This is a not by any means considered legal advise, but "seek and ye shall find".
