What are examples of moving violations?
I’m 15 and taking my first driver’s ed course. I’m kind of confused about the different ways you can get traffic tickets. What are examples of moving violations?

Driver’s ed can be overwhelming at first, but don’t worry—we’re here to help! In general, moving violations are more serious than non-moving violations and usually result in harsher penalties like higher fines, points on your license, or increased

costs. Here’s a list of common traffic offenses that are considered moving violations:
- Speeding
- Running a stop sign or red light
- Following too closely (tailgating)
- Failure to observe the right-of-way
- Failing to use your turn signal
- Improper lane usage
- Driving on the shoulder (where it is illegal to do so)
- Failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk
- Driving without a license
- Driving with a suspended license
- Using a cell phone or texting while driving
- Failure to stop after a traffic accident
The cheat code? Moving violations typically occur when your car is in motion.
