Common Types of Traffic Violations
Common types of traffic tickets include:

- Running Red Lights or Stop Signs – Failing to stop at traffic signals or stop signs, especially at intersections.
- Illegal Turns – Making U-turns or left/right turns where prohibited, or failing to signal properly.
- Distracted Driving – Using a phone to text, call, or browse while driving.
- Driving Without a Valid License or Insurance – Operating a vehicle without proper documentation.
- Expired Registration or Inspection – Driving with out-of-date vehicle tags or inspection stickers.
- Parking Violations – Parking in no-parking zones, handicapped spaces without a permit, or overstaying time limits.
- Failure to Yield – Not giving the right of way when required, often leading to dangerous situations.
- Reckless or Aggressive Driving – Includes tailgating, weaving through traffic, or excessive speeding.
If you find yourself in a position where you’ve received a traffic ticket, it’s worth exploring your legal options. Challenging the ticket or consulting a traffic violations attorney could save you time, money, and long-term hassle.
Consequences Of Traffic Violations
Traffic violations may seem minor, but they can have lasting consequences. Here’s why you should avoid having them on your driving record:
- Employment Impacts: Driving records are often included in background checks. A history of traffic violations could hurt your chances of landing a job that involves driving.
- Higher Insurance Costs: Insurance companies charge more if you’ve had recent tickets. Rates are typically lower for those who have been ticket- and accident-free for at least three years.
- Possible Criminal Charges: Repeated offenses, especially dangerous ones like speeding or running stop signs, can escalate to misdemeanor charges.
- License Suspension: Accumulating multiple traffic tickets, even if they’re not criminal, can lead to a suspended driver’s license.
