A novice or young driver received a ticket

General information for New Jersey, New York and Washington, DC · Last updated

Quick answer

Restricted, junior, provisional, or probationary licenses can carry additional consequences.

Do now

Check the exact license type and restrictions, violation date, and agency notices. Review current official rules with a parent or responsible adult where appropriate. Seek advice before a plea when privileges are at risk.

Watch for

Adult-driver point assumptions may not apply. A course or payment does not necessarily avoid a mandatory probationary consequence or cure a separate restriction violation.
