Traffic violations are a mix of regulations and criminal offenses typically based on violations of state statutes and county, city or other local ordinances relating to the operation of motor vehicles. Depending on the severity of the offense you may be subject to a fine, points on your license, loss of driving privileges or even jail time.
Traffic violations are generally divided into two separate categories: Infractions and violations. Infractions are an offense in which the penalty is usually a fine. Infractions are not crimes, and you can usually pay your fine by mail. A violation is an offense that can carry somewhat stiffer penalties. There are two types of violations: a parking violation and a moving violation. Moving violations include things like speeding or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Recently, moving violations have also included use of a cell phone while driving.
