These points stay on your record for a period of 3 years from the day they were added. If in this time period the total number of points on your driving license crosses 6 then your license will be suspended by the NJ Municipal court.

The user of this driving license will not be able to request restoration for a certain period of time. They also need to pay an extra surcharge and a restoration fee at the time of restoration.
