moving violation
Driving law breach
A moving violation is a traffic offense committed while a vehicle is in motion—speeding, running a red light, illegal turns, reckless driving.
The term distinguishes these from parking violations or equipment violations.
Moving violations typically add points to a driver's license and affect insurance rates: Three moving violations in a year and they'll suspend your license.
