TRAFFIC AND DUI MATTERS
Traffic violations are serious offenses in New Jersey that incur various levels of fines and penalties. A DUI (Driving Under the Influence, also often referred to as "driving while intoxicated" or DWI) charge is an especially severe crime in New Jersey. The consequences of a DUI conviction are more serious than a simple traffic ticket. They can be life-altering. The finding of guilt in a DUI offense incur punishments including:
• Jail time
• Job loss
• Loss of driver's license
• Insurance coverage complications
• Impoundment of vehicle
• Ignition interlock device
• Probation
• Community service
• Alcohol education/treatment/assessment
• Restricted interstate or international travel
Any of these punishments can significantly affect your lifestyle. Imagine blowing into an ignition interlock device every time you start your car. How about insurance rate increases and difficulty finding coverage, or even worse, losing your drivers license? What if you lost your vehicle, job, or freedom? These are the sobering realities of a DUI conviction.
In addition, the severity of the violation increases if this is not your first offense. In New Jersey, multiple offenders can face enhanced penalties. These individuals face the full force of the judicial system without mercy.
