What is a Moving Violation?

Answer:
A moving violation is a term that refers to any

offense when a driver breaks the law while a car is moving. This is different than a parking violation, which occurs when a car is parked in the wrong location. Moving violations bring fines and often points against the driver’s license.

Drivers with multiple moving violations over a short period of time may face a suspension of their driver’s licenses. In most states, moving violations are misdemeanors offenses. Some more serious moving violations carry felony charges. Common moving violations include speeding, driving too slowly, running traffic signs or lights, failure to yield, and failure to wear a seatbelt.
