Before you are given a driving license, you are
tested on your knowledge of traffic infractions or violations. However,
somewhere along the way of driving every day, most drivers tend to forget what
these violations are.
You should know that traffic infractions have corresponding
consequences and punishments. So, it is important that you always keep them in
mind to avoid breaking traffic laws. And more so, to always practice safe
driving wherever you go.
Take a look at the most common moving traffic
infractions of drivers today:
·
Speeding is a violation when you go beyond the
speed limit. This is considered reckless driving, since driving fast can easily
cause car and pedestrian accidents. Always observe the proper speed limit
wherever you are.
·
Running a red light can result in a ticket. Many
drivers try to make it when they see the yellow light. But to be on the safe
side, just stop or you might be caught in the middle of the road once the light
turns red. As you know, the difference is just a second or two.
·
Changing lanes without using turn signals is
dangerous, which is why it’s considered to be a violation. You must always use
turn signals to alert the drivers around you if you’re moving lanes.
·
Closely following a car in front of you can lead
to a traffic infraction. There must always be a safe following distance. You
can be given a ticket for tailgating if you do this.
·
Driving in the wrong direction is a very common
traffic violation, especially when you enter a one-way street. It is important
to always watch out for one-way signs. This violation is accident-prone too.
·
Not giving way to pedestrians is one of the traffic infractions
drivers ignore. Even stopping for school buses is required by law because the
bus frequently stops when children alights for the bus. Not stopping is
dangerous and can be fatal to the pedestrians.
·
Driving under the influence or DUI is a very
popular traffic infraction. Driving intoxicated is extremely dangerous and is
known to be a root cause of road accidents. Don’t drink and drive.
Following road rules isn’t just about avoiding
getting tickets, paying fines, avoiding license revocation and other violation
penalties. It’s more about the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians.
If you want to drive, be a responsible driver. You don’t want blood on your
hands just because you’re too lazy to follow the rules of the road.
