Of course, you can get pulled over for speeding anywhere, but will a cop really give you a ticket if you’re going 5 miles per hour over the speed limit?
Is It Truly Illegal To Drive 5 Miles Per Hour Over The Speed Limit in New Jersey?
Technically, there are laws against driving 5 miles per hour over the speed limit, even though let’s admit it, we all do it more than we would like to admit. “If you are driving in excess of 1-14 miles per hour over the speed limit, it is a 2-point ticket.” according to New Jersey Criminal Attorney Law.
With that being said, yes, you technically can get in trouble for going 5 miles per hour above the speed limit in New Jersey. You won’t pay as hefty of a price or get as many points on your license as you would if you were driving 15-30 miles per hour over the speed limit, but yes you technically can get pulled over and fined for speeding.
