Charged With Speeding in Kenilworth Borough
An extremely common offense in Kenilworth Borough is speeding. Hundreds, if not thousands, of speeding tickets are issued annually by members of the Kenilworth Police Department and state troopers patrolling the stretch of the Garden State Parkway within the borough. If you were issued a ticket or summons in Kenilworth New Jersey for speeding in violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-98, there are a few things our attorneys would like you to know.
- First and foremost, you need to understand that there can be significant ramifications to simply paying the ticket including fines, points and a likely increase in your costs for motor vehicle insurance.
- If you were exceeding the posted speed limit by 40 MPH or by at least 20 MPH in a safe corridor or construction zone you will required to appear in court. Suspension is unfortunately common for those who choose to proceed without a lawyer in this situation.

To be fooled into thinking that the Kenilworth Municipal Court is a play land for the inexperienced, especially if you already have points on your license since 6 or more results in surcharges and 12 or more will trigger an administrative suspension by the NJ Division of Motor Vehicles.
