Below is the schedule of Fines and Penalties for Common Motor Vehicle Offenses or traffic tickets in New Jersey. The schedule only includes selected offenses commonly charged under Title 39 of the New Jersey Statutes.  It is designed for quick reference and does not contain every sentencing nuance.

Please note that court costs and mandatory assessments are NOT included in the fine amounts. You may add court costs up to a maximum of $33.00, $5.50 of which may not be suspended.  See. N.J.S.A. 22A:3-4.  The listed fines also do not include the assessments found in N.J.S.A. 39:5-41, which, as of the date of this schedule, total $6.00. The revisions are current through October 2008.

If the "VCCA" box is checked next to an offense, then the offense is subject to a mandatory Violent Crimes Compensation Agency assessment of $50 in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2C:43-3.1. Similarly, if the "Safe Neigh." box is checked, the offense is subject to the mandatory Safe Neighborhood assessment of $75 in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2C:43-3.2.

If the "65 mph" box is checked next to an offense, then the listed fines shall be doubled when the offense is committed in an area which has been designated as having a speed limit of 65 miles per hour. N.J.S.A. 39:4-98.6. Similarly, if the "Con. Zone/Safe Cor" box is checked, the listed fines shall be doubled when committed in an area of highway construction or repair, or when committed in a designated safe corridor. N.J.S.A. 39:4-203.5.

In addition to the fines and penalties listed, a judge may revoke the driver's license of any person for the willful violation of any offense found in subtitle 1 of Title 39, N.J.S.A. 39:1-1 to 39:5G-1. See N.J.S.A. 39:5-31.

If the "Payable" box is checked next to an offense, then the offense is listed in the Statewide Violations Bureau Schedule. REMEMBER that the payable amounts listed in the Violations Bureau Schedule DO include court costs and assessments, so court costs and assessments should never be added to the payable amount.
