Studying traffic citations is a great way to start off as a responsible driver.
A moving violation is when you violate traffic law while your vehicle is in motion.
Here are some classic examples of moving violations to give you a better idea:
- Speeding
- Running a red light
- Failing to yield
- Tailgating
- Driving under the influence

- Parking in a no-parking zone
- Not having car insurance
- Having an invalid driver’s license
- Having a broken taillight
- Having overly tinted windows
