Traffic violations are actions that break the laws governing road use. Common examples include speeding, running a red light, and driving without a seatbelt. These laws are designed to ensure safety for all road users, including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. When a driver commits a traffic violation, they may receive a ticket or citation from law enforcement. Penalties can include fines, points on their driving record, or even license suspension. Understanding and following traffic laws helps reduce accidents and promotes safer driving conditions for everyone on the road.
