According to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission listing of the NJSA point scale exceeding the maximum speed by 15 to 29 mph over the limit is worth 4 points. So you will get 4 points on your NJ MVR if you are convicted of this speeding citation for being 25 mph over the speed limit. In NJ if you get six or more points within three years on your current driving record, you will be assessed a surcharge.
If you get 12 or more points on your current driving record, your license will be suspended. You will receive a notice of scheduled suspension by mail if you accumulate this many points on your New Jersey driving record. So if you have previous moving violation convictions and points on your driving record that now add up to 12 points with this speeding offense they your license may be suspended.
There are other reasons as well that your New Jersey driver's license can be suspended. The NJ MVC lists for possible reasons that your license can be suspended the following offenses:
- points on your current driver record
- Failure to appear in court or to pay fines
- Failure to pay surcharges
- Driving with a suspended license
- Failure to provide proof of insurance
- Physical or mental disqualification
- Drug or alcohol use while driving
- Reckless driving
- Vehicle abandonment on a public highway
- Fault in a fatal accident
So if you have accumulated too many points due to this speeding offense or if you were also cited for reckless driving then you may face a license suspension. To find out specifically the penalties you may face contact the court listed on the speeding ticket and also the NJ MVC.
