A: Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in NJ is a 2 point ticket with an up to $200.00 fine. If you want to get rid of the points, I would suggest a hiring a good lawyer. Just so you know the law, the law only requires the cop or other emergency vehicle to have its emergency lights on. No sound or siren is required to be made by the emergency vehicle for you to get a violation. I suggest hiring a lawyer for this ticket to make sure you get rid of the points as its not a good one to have on your record. Most of us traffic ticket lawyers offer a free in office consultation I suggest that you set one up.
