What is the Difference between in NJ DMV Points and NJ Insurance Points?
There is a related system of points that are assessed by NJ automobile-NJ Car insurance companies doing business in New Jersey. These points, known as insurance points or insurance eligibility points are generally the same as those imposed for motor vehicle violations. However several of the most serious violations that do not result in the assessment of motor vehicle points, will result in insurance eligibility points. For example, a drunk driving violation under N.J.S.A. 39:4 50(a) is not a point offense for motor vehicle purposes. However, this violation will result in the assessment of 9 insurance points.
