New Jersey traffic law, codified under N.J.S.A. Title 39, governs all motor vehicle violations in Cape May County. For commercial drivers, a conviction for reckless driving under N.J.S.A. 39:4-96 or speeding under 39:4-98 carries severe consequences beyond standard fines and points, including potential CDL disqualification. A Truck Driver Traffic Violation Lawyer Cape May County understands these high stakes.
For commercial truck drivers, the stakes are higher. A single moving violation can trigger federal CDL regulations under 49 CFR Part 383, which imposes stricter disqualification periods than state law alone.
