There are no collateral consequences in New Jersey like license suspension or insurance surcharge. However, you should closely monitor your points and driving history to make sure you qualify for this before you apply. The prosecutor will rarely review your driver’s abstract or advise you of the consequences of a third offense. Don’t make the mistake of pleading to unsafe operation for a third time and turn a two point ticket into an expensive four point ticket.
