Moving violations are infractions that occur when a vehicle is in motion. Examples of moving violations include: speeding; driving too slowly under the legal minimum limit; tailgating; running through a red light; disobeying traffic signs such as a stop sign; or failing to yield the right of way to school buses or emergency vehicles.

Non-moving violations occur when the vehicle is not in motion but a traffic law is still being broken. Examples of non-moving violations include parking illegally, such as in a handicapped spot without proper authorization, or letting parking meters expire.

In some states, demerit points are added to a driver's record every time they receive a traffic ticket. The amount of points varies according to the severity of the violation. If a driver accumulates a certain amount of points, penalties such as a license suspension can occur. Even in states without points systems, tickets are added to a driver's record and can lead to punishments such as fines or a license suspension. Drivers with many tickets on their records will probably be labeled as risky or dangerous drivers by their auto insurance company and pay higher than average premiums.
