39:4-36Failure to yield to pedestrian in crosswalk; passing a vehicle yielding to pedestrian in crosswalk 2

I didn't know they had pedestrian crosswalks on the turnpike! I don't think I would want to use them if they did.

[jimmyboy8301]

[camaroracer1992]

NJ is gay... PA lets us do what we want

[12secondv6]

Damn ice cream trucks!

It's leaving the scene of an accident, not just being involved in one. Basically if you hit someone's car , don't hurt them, and then leave, it's an automatic 2 points. If they were hurt when you hit them, then it's 8 points.

[WayFast84]

oo but it says "personal"

[79CamaroDiva]

personal meaning to a person. not to a vehicle.

[formulaMARK]

5pt violations suckkkk. I got 3 of them all at once. they suck

[chevyt454]

got my licence in '89. Went into the Army until '93. My driving record was spotless. Moved back to Jersey - 14 points.

[Tsar]

i still got zero points...

[Savage_Messiah]

I had four... down to 0 now

[Ian]

I dont want to talk about my driving record

[formulaMARK]

somehow i still have 0

[Tru2Chevy]

I've been pulled over 7 or 8 times, never got any points. :knocks on wood:

[jims69camaro]

so you got a ticket for failure to yield or stop? how much was it? that info included on the website; how about a link?

this one gets me: 39:5D-4 Moving violation out-of-state 2 - if you get a moving violation ticket out of state, they automatically assess 2 points.

ill prolly have around 2-4 by the end of this month, depending on whether or not they throw the case of me backing into sum1s car at 7-11 then leaving cuz i didnt know i hit it (D'OH!) also on the way home on the GSP i got 2 more tickets. doing 85 in a 65 zone and passing on the right when i was in the left lane. how else am i supposed to pass someone? on the shoulder?

How did they manage that one? You were in the left lane, and they gave you a ticket for passing on the right?

exactly. when i got it i was like wtf? how did this happen? i didnt want to say anything to him cuz he was like i could of gotten you with 4 tickets but i only gave you 2. i have no idea what the two others could of been.

****** ASCII diagram on me on the GSP (read from bottom up):

                           |
[me back in the left lane]
                           | [me after passing the car infront of me]

[car infront of me]  | [empty right lane]

[my car]                    |
[******* cop w/ bright lights on]        
                          |

i dont see anything illegal about that at all, i signalled and everything. not like i can fight it, cuz then i would have to plead not guilty to the speeding ticket and that might get me into more **** idk....

[jims69camaro]

you got back into the left lane after passing? why would you do that? you do know the law in NJ is keep right, pass left... right? i would've been in the right lane to begin with, but say i was behind someone in the left lane and then passed themon the right... i would've then stayed in the right lane, assuming it was clear (unless i had to pass someone in the right lane) eventually, i would've ended up in the right lane. i don't think he would've written that one if you had either stayed in the right lane or not been going 85 in a 65. once they get you on the shoulder of the road, it's all over (meaning they can write to their heart's content).

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, you cannot pass on the right, only to the left.

No, my ticket was 79 in a 65 on the parkway, heading to thoes stupid north meets. I was just going with traffic since I was pretty tired from work, and didnt realize my speed, or my radar detector going off like a bat out of hell untill I saw brake lights in front of me. I was the last person in the group, so I got nailed.
I told him flat out I didnt realize I was going that fast, just keeping up with traffic (was in the right lane). As soon as I saw him turnon his headlights off the median, I just pulled over and waited. I thought maybe he would get someone else, but he just pulled behind me. Oh well, thats 2pts.
