Attention NJ drivers!!!

[V6DVette]

Hi, just thought I'de pass this along.

Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of NJ Law 39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or
insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to $173.00.
Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well..., you just spent $173! And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!! Just another example where the
government gets away with legal extortion by putting their hand in your pocket and stealing your hard earned money.
Forward this to people in NJ,
and let them know of this change. And be careful!



I'm never gonna finish this car!

Being a police officer in NJ, we used to give driver's failure to produce paper (39:3-29) instead of more serious moving violation if the person co-operated, meaning not being a a$$hole. The stated caught up to us. Remember that when you got a moving violation, you also paid a surcharge of $250 per year/per point for 3 years totalling $750. You do the math. The moving violation fine went up also from $60 to $78.

How about those new "Safe Corridors" that have quietly popped up? Fines are doubled in those areas. Rotten tax collectors. They know that doubling the fines only increases their revenue - it has little if any impact on behavior modification (their alleged motivation for these "Safe Corridors". Same way the double fines in the 65 MPH zones are ineffective at keeping people at 65 MPH. Does increase revenue quite a bit, though.
