I'm telling NJ is getting ridiculous with the way that they want to extort money out you.
When i had my accident on Jan 4 the cop wrote me a ticket for careless driving. I tried fighting in court since i believe the accident wasn't my fault.
The guy had come out of a parking lot on RT46 straight into the left lane.
Well needless to say judge said just pay it since the cop put in destruction of private property on the ticket whatever that means.
I paid it just fine thinking it was done and over with.
Well today i received a Surcharge letter saying i have to pay $175 Surcharge cause i had 5 points from all the way in Oct of '03 and 2 points cause of the ticket i was issued when the accident happened.
NJ Surcharge clause states that i have to pay a insurance surcharge if i have more than 6 points on my licence within 3yrs even though i had no points on my licence since 03.

What kind of BS is that.
Man i can't wait until Oct '06 so those 5 points from 3yrs ago disappear.
I'm telling NJ just loves bleeding its residents to death

 

I agree w/ you 100%
they're super strict and they'll burn a hole in your pocket.

 

I agree too. I think it's only gonna get worse since the state is broke. Next they'll rip you a new @$$*****.

 

yea cops here are ridiculous

 

all of that and you forgot to mention you have the priviledge to breathe in all that sweet joisey air too ......... LOL.........j/k bro

Yeah that sux especially when your not expecting it and it comes outta the blue....... like wtf.

Hopefully it will all work out for ya and don't get bruised too much

 

Get a lawyer for next time...they're rates are about the cost of the ticket.....

 

O NO there are some pretty "ripe" places in NYC too. How about Flushing Bay at low tide.
j/k from a former Queens native.

 

ny has the surchrage 2 but its worse 125$ a year for 3 years for 4-6 points..and it gets worse when u have more points

 

yeah i didnt know about the surcharge or else i would have gotten a lawyer.
Anyway im paying it off tomorrow and come oct it will just be points in 3yrs.
Damn guy from the accident i was hoping to see some discounts come october from my insurance.
I don't know how much of a discount i will get now since instead of 5 points i will only have 2 in Oct and the accident.

 

i got the same surcharge, god forbid i get to class on time cop has to pull me over for doing 5 over the limit on the highway.. btw i got a white bimmer with tints and rims :/

 

dude, just take a 'defensive driving course' or a 'driver improvement class' like i did, it automatically wipes 2 points off of your license no matter what. you can it once every 3 years. just get it approved with your insurance/dmv first or whatever and make sure its a legit, certified company. the one i did was 6 hours on a saturday.. well worth it. it also gives you a decrease on your insurance.

 

NJ SUX X1000000 I agree.

 

i feel for u man..
thats wa u get for leaving brooklyn..lol. j/k
in ny its the same thing.. dmv will charge u a surcharge for any kind of moving violation or accident if u have points on ur liscense and i believe its bout 200 dollars or so.... deffensive driving will jus take ur points off ur liscense not off ur insurance and with the insurance it stays with them for 5yrs

 

Yea Jersey cops sux big time i also got a surcharge for the second year in a row.. i have 8 points on my license.. they try to rape any way.. those F***ers .. thats y my parents are movin out this state..

 

i got pulled over for nothing and the ******** didng have **** on my so he gave me a obstruction of view ticket for my gauges and my ez pass... wtf ********
