That is not true at all. NJ will only transfer a maximum of 2 points back onto your license...I've been there and done that.

That's covered in the second half of the piece that I posted...post #8.

Now when moving and becoming a resident of a different state and obtaining a new driver's license, many states do not transfer points from your old state over to your new license. They will normally check to make sure that any old violations were properly taken care of though before issuing a new license.

For insurance purposes, points from your old license can be seen because if you recently moved to a new state many insurance companies will also check your driving record in your former state. If you have more questions regarding your driving record in PA or your new license in NJ, you can contact the state's Departments of Motor Vehicles.

If your license is suspended, I am 99% sure that NJ will not issue you a new one until the PA suspension has expired.

I got 2 tickets while living in PA, but all my documentation was NJ. The points I got in PA transfered to NJ and got 2 additional points for each ticket from NJ.

PA does not put on your record or assess points for speeding tickets out of state, end of story. Other than those offenses listed in the DLC, serious traffic offenses that would result in a suspension in PA if it had occurred in PA will transfer and result in a possible suspension.

As for NJ, 2 points for every offense reported back, regardless of offense.

Yeah, the thing is I stated "not guilty" on the ticket for now, and my court date is on october 15th in staten island. I am not sure what the ticket cost is cuse over 31 mph they say you have to appear in person. Should I attend the court date and just state that it was 1 am on a wednesday morning driving home from NYC and I wasn't paying attention the the mph?? I got caught on laser.

Well if it's a "court appearance required" ticket and you have to go to court then get 1/2 hour before court starts. Talk to the prosecutor and or the office officer. If you have a clean record up till this point tell them that too.....they may cut you a little break. You're lucky you didn't get towed on the spot on given a wreckless driving ticket in addition but as long as you weren't an ass to the cop....he'll might hook ya up. Good luck.
*OH BTW call the court at least a week in advance and inform them you intend to plead not guilty or you might have to make two trips.....*
