What are moving violations in NJ?
I’m driving to visit my sister in New Jersey for the first time. She said to be careful on the Turnpike because the cops are supposedly nasty about moving violations. I don’t think I know what that means though!

You’re probably more familiar with a moving violation than you realize. Moving violations in NJ cover a wide range of traffic infractions committed while operating your vehicle. For example,
reckless driving in New Jersey
would be considered a moving violation.Other examples of moving violations in NJ include the following:
- Speeding
- Illegal turns
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Fleeing the scene of an accident that you caused (a hit-and-run accident)
You’ll be charged with a moving violation if you fail to follow the rules of the road while operating your vehicle, and
the resulting driver violation points can affect your insurance rates
