•  The New Jersey Municipal Court system handles nearly 6
  million tickets and complaints each year.
  
  
•  99% of the cases are resolved by a plea bargain or guilty
  plea.
  
  
•  The prosecutor and court system cannot handle 6 million
  trials and are very interested in disposing of cases by plea
  bargaining.
  
  
•  You should show up neatly dressed and on time.
  
  
•  Ask to talk with the prosecutor and generally you will be
  offered an amended summons, often with fewer points.
  Most of the time this can be accomplished without an
  attorney.
  
  
• Attached is a copy of N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.2. It is the most
  common plea bargain statute and carries no points for the
  first two offenses.
  
  
• With a speeding ticket, the number of points is based upon
  the number of miles per hour over the posted speed limit.
  The prosecutor will often reduce the charged rate of
  speed to a violation with less points in exchange for a
  guilty plea.
