Unlicensed Driver Charges in New Jersey

Morris County Traffic Offense Lawyer

State law requires a person possess a valid driver's license to operate a motor vehicle. An unlicensed driver under 17 years old and involved in a DUI can face serious consequences imposed by the MVC such as large fines, community service, drug and alcohol programs, and other possible penalties. The underage offender may be subject to a delay of 30-90 days in processing his or her driver's license when becoming eligible. Any unlicensed driver may receive fines dictated by the MVC and an annual insurance surcharge of $100 for three years totaling $300.

Driver’s License Laws

The penalties set by the Motor Vehicle Commission in New Jersey are strict for anyone in violation of traffic laws. A driver may consider that a traffic offense is not very significant but it can affect the ability to maintain driving privileges, can carry large fines, and in some instances mean time spent in jail. For legal advice and guidance, contact an attorney for a defense against an unlicensed driver traffic violation. The Law Offices of Christopher G.

His knowledge and patience in explaining every possible scenario to us was great. We knew EXACTLY what we we walking in to. His response time and efficiency was stellar.

"I always felt safe with him."
Mr. Porreca did an awesome job with my case. I always felt safe with him. He is straight forward, plays close to the vest and turns around with winning results! I would recommend him to anyone in my family or any of my friends. My charges of allowing intoxicated person to drive and unopened container were dismissed thanks to the hard work and dedication he gives to his clients. His retainer was extremely fair. His legal foresight is usually dead on. You could not be in better hands in the municipal court.
