What are common types of traffic violations?
Traffic violations generally involve either parking violations or moving violations. Moving violations occur while the vehicle is in motion, and the penalties usually are more severe for moving violations than for parking violations. Common moving violations include speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, failing to observe traffic signs, and failing to fasten seat belts. Parking violations occur while the vehicle is not in motion, and they include parking in a “no parking” area, unauthorized parking in a handicap parking space, and parking in a space with an expired parking meter.
