Well, if you protest it and lose, it'll cost you a lot more in court fees. Pay up, pay attention and learn your lesson.
The ticket only says careless driving, so that is all you will get charged with. If you are charged with reckless driving, you can present the ticket as proof you were not given anything about it.
Yes. He can't do it while you are driving.

One way to avoid points on a careless driving ticket is to go to court and offer to plead guilty to a lesser offense rather than forcing the municipality to go to trial on the matter. In New Jersey, it is very common to plead down to a charge of Operating a Vehicle in an Unsafe Manner. This charge carries a $250 surcharge over an above the usual fines for careless driving, but there are no points.

There is no specific "unsafe lane change" in NJ, so the ticket may be for careless driving or simply failure to use the turn signal. In hte event an accident occurred, the ticket would almost certainly be for careless driving. The fines for each will vary by the local municipal court. The turn signal fine could run from $25 to $100, with the careless driving fine from $50 to $250. However, what is worse is the careless driving is a moving violation, which will place points on your license (these will be placed there even if you are unlicensed completely and will last for years). The points will result in higher insurance costs for years and can result in loss of license.
How long does a reckless driving ticket stay on your record in nj
Not always. According to NJSA 39:4-97, where a careless driving ticket is issued where there has been no accident or personal injury, the fine may be paid at the Violations Bureau by pleading guilty. If there has been an accident or injury, an appearance is mandatory. The ticket given at the scene will have a box marked "Court Appearance Required" or similar language to let you know if you have to go to court or not.
