How can you say about traffic violation
Answers
Answer:
Traffic violations occur when drivers violate laws that regulate vehicle operation on streets and highways. More than 90% of Americans over age 16 are licensed to drive, often with more than one vehicle registered per name.
That translates into trillions of miles driven each year and millions of traffic infractions -- including speeding, running red lights, reckless driving, DUI, etc. Traffic violations are usually issued by local law enforcement officers and processed in local branches of state court.
For definitions related to traffic violations, visit the Traffic Law and DUI Law Glossary in the FindLaw Legal Dictionary. See FindLaw's Traffic Laws section to learn more.
The majority of traffic tickets are issued for "strict-liability" offenses. This means that no particular criminal intent is required to convict a person of the offense. The only proof needed is that the person did commit the prohibited act. Strict-liability traffic offenses typically include such offenses as:
Speeding
Failure to yield
Turning into the wrong lane
Driving a car with burned-out headlights
Parking in a handicap spot without the required sticker, and
Overdue parking meters
