NJ Ticket NY Driver?

Answers:
(1) Yes
(2) Yes
Quick piece of advice: IMPROVE YOUR DRIVING!
Yes, NJ points do transfer over to New York and depending on your insurance holder, most likely your rates may shift up.
The best you can do is to go clash the tickets in court and pray that any the officer doesn't show or that you somehow can pull rotten a "not guilty". It's a "roll of the dice". And if you do lose, then freshly take one of those caring driver courses to get the points past its sell-by date and a reduction on your insurance.
Then hold on to it clean and drive without risk!
Ok: no to the first put somebody through the mill - NYS DMV does not issue points to their driver's for infractions incurred out-of-state (they will however suspend your license if you don't pay the fines or answer the tickets, on your NYS DMV License Abstract it would read "Failure to Answer Summons -O/S".
As for the insurance, the answer within this aspect is yes. It won't increase because of the points, it will increase because of the violations. Your insurance mover runs checks on its drivers either semi-annually or annually and those violation will show up then. The best entry to do is a) either except guilt and reimburse the tickets - then transport a defensive driver's course within NJ to eliminate doesn`t matter what points you can or b) contest the tickets, maybe draw from them reduced/plea-bargained to something without points [seatbelt/cellphone] and after you don't have to verbs about any of the above.
