moving violation

A moving violation is an infraction committed while operating a vehicle on the road that breaches traffic laws. Examples include speeding, running a red light, reckless driving, or illegal passing. These violations can result in fines, points on your driving record, and increased insurance premiums. They are called "moving" because they occur while the vehicle is in motion, differentiating them from parking or equipment violations. Adhering to traffic laws helps ensure safety for all road users and can help you avoid penalties associated with moving violations.
