Is blocking an intersection a moving violation?
I received a ticket last week for blocking an intersection. I get that I was in the wrong, but I might try to get the ticket reduced if it’s considered a moving violation. Do most states consider blocking an intersection a moving violation?

Don’t stress too much—states do not consider blocking an intersection a moving violation unless you willfully try to block traffic.
Purposely blocking traffic is something that doesn’t come up often, so you likely broke some other aspect of the law. In either case, you may get a ticket and a fine, but you won’t see any
points on your license
like you would with a moving violation.On the off-chance that your ticket for blocking an intersection is charged as a moving violation, you may see an increase to your
car insurance
rates, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it. Download the Jerry
