Short answer: Readington Township’s stretch of Route 22 is one of the most heavily enforced speed corridors in Hunterdon County. If you were ticketed there, paying the ticket means pleading guilty and taking the points. A local attorney can often negotiate a downgrade that keeps points off your record and your insurance rate intact. I’ve defended Hunterdon County drivers for over 20 years and handle every case personally.
The Route 22 speed trap
Route 22 runs straight through Readington, and the speed limit changes more than once as you pass through town — which is exactly where drivers get caught. Whitehouse Station and the surrounding stretch see steady radar and pace enforcement. The tickets I most often defend for drivers stopped on Route 22 and elsewhere in Readington:
- Speeding (N.J.S.A. 39:4-98) — 2 to 5 points, and the higher-speed tickets here are common given the road
- Careless driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-97) — 2 points
- Reckless driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-96) — 5 points
- Failure to observe a changing speed limit / signal violations
- Cell-phone, suspended-license, and CDL charges
Readington Township cases are heard in the Readington Township Municipal Court in Hunterdon County. Knowing how that court and its prosecutor handle Route 22 speeding cases is where a local lawyer earns the fee.
Why fighting a Route 22 ticket pays off
A high-speed ticket on Route 22 can be a 4- or 5-point charge — enough, with any prior points, to trigger surcharges or push you toward a suspension. The fine is minor next to three years of insurance surcharges and a premium hike. A downgrade to unsafe driving (N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.2) carries no MVC points, and I work to get there wherever your record and the facts allow.
