traffic ticket
Officer's written warning
A traffic ticket is a citation issued by police for a driving violation—speeding, running a red light, illegal parking.
The ticket typically requires paying a fine or appearing in court.
I got a traffic ticket for going fifteen over the limit.
Accumulating tickets can raise insurance rates or lead to license suspension.
