The recent New Jersey Supreme Court case of State v Moran outlined the considerations a court must use in imposing jail time and license suspension penalties.  These penalties are also possible if you have received a Reckless Driving Ticket.  See our page entitled "When Can my License be Suspended" to review the considerations a judge will use before subjecting a driver to a License Suspension or Jail time.
