It's a class 4 felony. They seize your car. (Meaning they take it and keep it and never give it back) You will have 2500 in fines (at least), community service, and possible jail time. By the way, the value of your car in no way decreases your fines. Your car is just gone and that's it.

Complete information concerning the penalties in New Jersey for driving while under a license suspension.
The consequences of driving on a suspended license are much more serious than just fines even on the first offense under certain circumstances.
New Jersey Statute Title 39:4-50 states:
First offense: Fine of $500.00. If the offense occurs during a time when the suspension was due to conviction for drunk driving or for refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test, the registrations of all passenger vehicles, motorcycles and non-commercial trucks the person owns or leases as well as the right to register other vehicles in the future are revoked for the period of the original suspension. The loss of registration privileges applies to all vehicles owned jointly with another person as well.
Second offense: Fine of $750.00, imprisonment in the county jail for at least one but not more than five days. If the second offense occurs within 5 years of a conviction on a similar offense, the person loses registration privileges as stated above. For this second offense, the original suspension does not have to be as a result of drunk driving or refusal to take a breathalyzer test.
Third and subsequent offense: Fine of $1,000.00, imprisonment in the county jail for 10 days. Again, if the third or subsequent violation occurs within five years of a conviction for the same offense, the violator loses his registration privileges as above.
In addition to the fine, the original license suspension period will be extended for up to six months.
Further, if the violator is involved in an accident resulting in bodily injury while driving on the suspended list, the court must impose a period of imprisonment of not less than 45 nor more than 180 days.
Enhanced penalties even for first offenses under certain circumstances:
1. If the suspension had been the result of a driver failing to carry mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance, then in addition to any above penalty that may apply, the person will be fined another $500.00, have his license suspended for an additional period of not less than one nor more than two years and may be imprisoned in the county jail for not more than 90 days.
2. In addition to all the foregoing penalties that may apply, if the suspension is the result of drunk driving, failure to take a breathalyzer test or if the violator is an habitual offender (that is, he has had 3 license suspensions within a 3 year period), an additional fine of $500.00, suspension of license for an additional period of not less than one nor more than two years and be imprisoned in the county jail for not less than 10 nor more than 90 days.
3. In addition to all of the above penalties that may apply, the person shall have his license suspended for an additional period of not less than one nor more than two years, which period commences on the completion of any jail sentence, and fined $500.00 and be imprisoned for 60 to 90 days on a first offense; 120 to 150 days for a second offense and 180 days for a third or subsequent offense if he operates a motor vehicle while suspended for drunk driving, refusal to take a breathalyzer test or is an habitual offender while:
(a) on any school property used for school purposes which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board or within 1000 feet of such property;
(b) driving through a school crossing if the local municipality has designated it as a school crossing; or
(c) driving through a school crossing knowing juveniles are present even if the municipality has not officially designated the crossing as such
If the original suspension was due to failure to appear in court or failure to pay previously assessed fines, the maximum penalty is $100.00 as long as all payments are made.
If a person is convicted for a second or subsequent offense and such offense involves a moving violation for which "points" may be assessed, the terms of imprisonment shall be 10 days longer than the term imposed for the previous offense.
Jail time. This happened to a friend of mine about a year ago.
You will lose your license for longer, have to go to court and be fined or jailed. More than likely the judge will not send you to jail but you should get an attorney just to make sure.
The term Youthful Offender is a status given to someone under the age of 21 who decides to be charged as a youthful offender instead of being charged with another crime. Youthful Offender status is usually reserved for much greater offenses than a speeding ticket. Youthful Offender was set up to give juveniles a somewhat second chance instead of having an offense on their record that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. If you are young, and I am assuming you are, just pay the ticket and move on with life. A speeding ticket is not the end of the world and will not prevent you from being hired nor is it so horrible that it will haunt you for the rest of your life. In other words, it is not great enough to warrant youthful offender status nor would this status likely be granted by a Judge considering the circumstances.
If you are charged with a hit and run, you will lost your license and have it suspended. There will be other consequences as well such as jail and fines.
yes
Check with an attorney.
Legally no. However if he or she was charged with an offence the judge would take into account the circumstances.
The other sentence is likely to be invoked, and you may be charged as an habitual offender on the second charge.
You have to be deemed an "habitual offender", after which certain statutes, which prescribe more severe penalties, apply.
Yes it does. A person has to be charged with 3 different serious crimes as for instance rape, murder, armed robbery, home invasion, etc.. or it could be the same type of crime on 3 different occasions. Don't forget that has to be on 3 different occasions then and only then can a person be charged as a habitual offender.

Excessive speeding is not given a fine. Going 40 miles per hour above the speed limit will definitely require you to appear in court. More than likely you will be charged with reckless endangerment and have your license suspended or revoked.
The reason you are pulled over does not matter. If you have a suspended license, you can be charged.
If a plea deal is brought into the conversation prior to a trial. Either party can bring up the idea of a plea deal but it has to be reasonable and the person that committed the crime is not a habitual offender.
(In the US) The number of offenses with which a juvenile can be charged is not limited to any number.
You don't get off of the sex offender's list. Once you are on you stay on you're entire life.
