A Summons for Failure to Keep Right also known as failure to stay right (39:4-83 or sometimes charged
as 39:4-88) will cost you two points on your license and as described below possible other penalties.
This ticket is commonly given to CDL Truck Drivers who are not allowed to drive in the left hand lane on any
highway or road with 2 or more lanes. However, sometimes it is given to anyone who stays in the left lane other
than to pass a car. You are only allowed to be in the left hand lane of any roadway with two or more lanes to pass
another car, it is not considered a driving lane. In addition, to the points associated with this ticket you could also
receive up to 15 days in jail. (note that unless your offense involves an accident or other violations at the same
time, or a mandatory court appearance it is rare, but possible for a judge to impose jail or suspend your license).
The Points associated with this ticket in NJ can cost you dearly on your insurance. For Insurance purposes it
takes 3 years from the date of your violation/conviction for the points to be eliminated off your insurance. That is
why a conviction for failure to keep or stay right should be fought with proper legal representation as the cost for
representation is almost always much less than the increased insurance costs. Thus you benefit by saving money
and keeping your record clean! We call that a Win Win situation for our clients.
For mandatory court appearance tickets in addition to possible jail the judge does have the discretion to suspend
your license. If you lose your license either because you have accumulated too many points or because the judge
feels that your violation warrants a suspension, you could lose your job, your house and all that is important to you!
