GOT A TICKET FOR SLOW SPEED OR BLOCKING TRAFFIC?
IF SO YOU WILL GET 2 POINTS ON YOUR LICENSE
A Summons for Slow Speed, Blocking or Impeding Traffic (39:4-97.1) will cost you two points on your license and if your case
involves an accident it is possible to get up to 15 days in jail or the suspension of your drivers license. Just like it is illegal to speed it is
also illegal to go 10mph or more under the speed limit or to block traffic in NJ. Generally driving too slow is caused either by distracted
driving, impaired driving or health problems. Thus a cop will stop you for both your safety and safety of other drivers on the road.
The Points associated with this ticket can cost you dearly on your insurance. You can lose 3 points a year off your license for your motor
vehicle record if you remain violation free for a year, but for Insurance purposes it takes 3 years from the date of your
violation/conviction for the points to be eliminated off your insurance. That is why a conviction for this offense should be fought with proper
legal representation.
In addition to possible jail the judge does have the discretion to suspend your license. If you lose your license either because you have
accumulated too many points or because the judge feels that your violation warrants a suspension, you could lose your job, your house and
all that is important to you! Don't go it alone we can help. Call our office at 1-800-9-RIGHTS or (732) 257-5040 to setup a free in office
consultation to find out how we can possibly help you reduce or eliminate these penalties. You have rights, but you must know how to
protect them we can help.
