Once a motorist is convicted of a violation, both the New Jersey insurance providers and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) can assign points and evaluate surcharges. The insurance points placed by insurance companies are known as insurance points or insurance eligibility points.

They are the same generally as the points imposed for motor vehicle points; but several major violations that do not have motor vehicle points assigned to them will result in an evaluation of points by the insurance provider. According to the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) fact page on purchasing insurance, insurance eligibility points for an accident or violation are removed when the incident falls outside the 3-year “look back” period. It would seem that your DUI insurance points would thus be taken off after three years but to be sure verify with your insurance company in Newark or the DOBI.
