Driving offenses refer to violations of traffic laws that can result in penalties such as fines, points on a driver's license, or even imprisonment. Common examples include speeding, running a red light, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These offenses can endanger the safety of the driver, passengers, and other road users. Consequences for driving offenses vary by jurisdiction but often include increased insurance rates, mandatory driving courses, or license suspension. Serious offenses, like driving under the influence (DUI), can lead to criminal charges and long-term repercussions, affecting a person's ability to drive legally in the future.
