IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH A TAILGATING
TICKET YOU WILL GET 5 POINTS ON YOUR LICENSE

Tailgating also known as Following to Closely is a serious offense in the State of New Jersey and carries 5
points.  In addition to points you could also receive up to 15 days in jail.  (note that unless your offense
involves an accident it is very rare but possible for a judge to impose jail).  

The Points associated with this ticket can easily cost you thousands of dollars on your insurance.  For
Insurance purposes it takes 3 years from the date of your violation/conviction for the points to be
eliminated off your insurance.  The five points associated with this offense are equivalent to the points in 2
and 1/2 red light or stop sign violation tickets.

In addition to possible jail the judge does have the discretion to suspend your license.  If you lose your
license you could lose your job, your house and all that is important to you!  Don't go it alone we can help.
