I grew up in a city where having a car wasn’t necessary, but I’ve recently moved and need to read up on traffic laws before I try to get my license. Is failing to yield considered a moving violation?
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Yes, failure to yield is considered a moving violation in most states. If you don’t have the right of way and you fail to yield to oncoming traffic, then expect to get a failure-to-yield ticket if you’re caught in the act.
You can get a failure to yield ticket if you don’t have the right of way:
At an intersection
When making a U-turn
When making a left turn
When you’re at a stop sign and other vehicles don’t have a stop sign at the same intersection
To an emergency vehicle or pedestrian
