New Jersey Traffic Ticket Attorney for Out of State Driver

It is very common for out of state driver’s to get pulled over in New Jersey, and it is a common misconception that a traffic ticket in a state outside of where your license was issued will not follow you home. In reality, quite the opposite is the case.  Not only do most states share information about traffic offenses, but your home state will most likely penalize you, meaning that it only a matter of time before your insurance company finds out about your infraction.

For out of state residents, Trenton and surrounding areas can be a traffic nightmare. Wall to wall traffic, inadequately displayed signs and a large police presence all act as the perfect recipe for drivers in the area to end up with a traffic violation. Putting those factors aside, police pay particular attention to those with out of state plates, making it far too easy for a ticket misfortune to fall upon non-locals.

Most states follow interstate reciprocal agreement known as the Driver License Compact (DLC) which requires states to share information on convictions for moving violations. The 45 DLC-member states agree to report out-of-state convictions to one another, including when a state suspends an out-of-state driver, the driver’s home state is encouraged to follow the same protocol.
