traffic ticket

A traffic ticket is a formal notice issued by law enforcement to a driver who has violated traffic laws or regulations. It typically details the specific infraction, such as speeding or running a red light, and may include a fine or other penalties. Receiving a ticket often requires the driver to pay a fine, attend a court appearance, or both. Traffic tickets help enforce traffic laws, promote safety, and hold drivers accountable for their actions on the road. They are a legal record of a violation and can impact insurance rates if not addressed properly.
