In New Jersey, a driver’s license may be suspended if the driver accumulates 12 or more points on their driving record. When a driver reaches this threshold, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) will issue a Scheduled Suspension Notice, and the suspension period can range from 30 days to several months depending on the number of points and the driver's history. Points are added for various moving violations, and accumulating too many can also result in surcharges and insurance increases. Here is a summary:

• License suspension is triggered at 12 or more points.
• Suspension periods can vary based on how many points are accumulated within a certain time frame, for example:
  • 12 to 15 points may result in a 30-day suspension.
  • Higher points lead to longer suspension periods, up to 180 days or more.
• After suspension, drivers are typically placed on probationary licenses.
• Points are accumulated from moving violations and can be reduced by attending approved driving programs.

This is the baseline for suspension in terms of points in New Jersey.
