The best way to avoid getting a traffic ticket is avoid getting pulled over in the first place. In New Jersey there are a few tell tale ways to avoid getting pulled over and ticketed before a cop even spots a moving violation. Keep these in order and you may have a better chance of getting out of a ticket if you do get pulled over…

1. Keep your inspection sticker up to date. An out of date sticker is a big red flag waving “Pull me over and check me out”!

2. On that note, make sure your license is not expired and your car registration is up to date as well.

3. “Click it or Ticket” – Wear your seatbelt. Cops can see you and your passengers and can pull you over for it.

4. Get off the phone and drive. Talking on the cellphone is a first offense and can get you pulled over. Go hands-free or wait until you arrive at your destination. Same goes for texting, checking email, Facebook, etc…

5. Check your lights and cars exterior – you can get pulled over for a headlight or tail light out, driving with your headlights off at night or in the rain, etc.

Cell Phone Safety

 

 

Effective March 1, 2008 New Jersey law makes using a hand-held communications device a primary offense. Authorities will issue a $100 fine to any driver caught violating this law, although no points will be issued to the license. Although it is discouraged, drivers may use a hands-free device if it does not interfere with standard safety equipment. “Use” of a wireless phone and any other hand-held communication device includes, but is not limited to, talking or listening to another person, texting, or sending and receiving electronic messages.

Use Hands-free devices sparingly

A hand-held phone may be used for an emergency only and the driver must keep one hand on the wheel at all times. In an effort to increase safety on the roads, this law will be enforced. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it is estimated that 25% of all police-reported traffic accidents are accountable to driving distraction from all sources, including cell phones.

Cell Phone Safety Tips:

  1. Turn your phone off or put ring on silent to avoid the urge to answer.
  2. Put your phone in a secure location that is easy to reach, in case of emergency.
  3. Never dial while driving, move to a safe area off of the road.
  4. Prior to driving, store important contact information in your phone.
  5. Use a hands-free unit so that both of your hands are on the steering wheel at all times.
  6. Become familiar with your phone’s speed dialing and voice-activation features to minimize dialing.
  7. Prior to driving, set up your voice-mail to take messages.
