(b) The treatment of a violation under the "step down" sentencing provision in N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.3is solely for the purposes of calculating penalties at sentencing for a second time offender whose first violation occurred more than 10 years prior to the second offense, or a third time offender whose second violation occurred more than 10 years prior to the third offense. Penalties for an offense committed under N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.3will be assessed based on the total number of N.J.S.A. 39:497.3 violations for which an individual has been convicted. In cases where a third time offender's second offense occurred more than 10 years prior to the third offense, no motor vehicle points shall be assessed. Third offender status will apply where fewer than 10 years have elapsed between the second and third offenses, even if more than 10 years have elapsed between the first and second offenses. Points shall be assessed for all convictions subsequent to the third conviction even if the individual previously benefited from the limited step down provision for a previous conviction.
