What are the four top traffic violations that cause traffic collisions?
• California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a) – Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • California Vehicle code Section 21453 (a) – Failing to stop for a red light. California has doubled the fine for red light violations. • California Vehicle Code Section 22350 – Excessive speed. In excess of the posted speed limit, or driving at any speed that is unsafe, based on the conditions present (rain, fog and/or driver’s behavior or actions, i.e. reading, applying cosmetics) may dictate that even the posted speed is not safe. • California Vehicle Code Section 21801 (a) – Failure to yield to oncoming traffic before turning left. A driver may not negotiate a left turn when another vehicle is approaching, that is so close to be a hazard.
