Types of Civil Traffic Violations
A motorist or pedestrian can get a civil traffic violation if they violated a civil traffic law. Generally this is a correctable violation with the opportunity to fix the offending issue and, as a result, it will not go on your driving record or cost a hefty fine. Some violations are handled in court while others can be paid by mail. Examples of civil traffic violations include:
- Speeding
- Parking in no parking zones (including handicapped)
- Failure to obey traffic signs
- Running red lights
- Driving in the wrong lanes of traffic.
- Failure to provide proof of registration
- No valid driver’s license
- No insurance
- Driving without fastened seat belt
- Driving too slowly on an interstate highway
