The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission automatically places drivers on a Mandatory Probation Period after they complete the Driver Improvement Program or Probationary Driver Program, after a driver receives an official warning issued by MVC, or after a driver’s license is restored following a points or persistent violator suspension. Importantly, if a driver pleads guilty to any moving violation – even a “no-point” moving violation – during the Mandatory Probation Period, the driver could face a license suspension of between 45 to 730 days.
If you receive a ticket while you are on the Mandatory Probation Period, you should consult with an experienced New Jersey Traffic Lawyer regarding your options. Additionally, if you are facing license suspension as a result of a conviction or guilty plea to a traffic violation during the Mandatory Probation Period, a traffic lawyer may be able to assist by requesting a hearing to appeal the length of the suspension sought by the MVC.
