A moving violation is a violation of law committed while the vehicle is in motion and is considered either an infraction or a misdemeanor. The following are examples of moving violations:
• Speeding

• Running a red stop light or a stop sign
• Failure to yield to another vehicle with right of way
• Failure to signal for turns or lane changes
• Failing to drive in a single lane
• Crossing over a center divider, median, or gore
• Driving on the shoulder where it is considered illegal in some conditions
• Failure to use a seatbelt
• Failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk
• Failure to stop for a school bus when children are boarding or exiting
• Failure to secure a truck or lorry
• Driving illegally in a carpool lane
• Driving while intoxicated
• Reckless driving

The best way to avoid going to court for a speeding ticket is by avoiding getting the ticket in the first place. These are the top ten ways to avoid a speeding ticket:
• Drive within 5-10 miles of the speed limit
• Try to stay in between two cars who are traveling at the same rate of speed that you are
• Do not drive aggressively , ex. tailgating and frequent lane changes
• Avoid the fast-lane
• Place your vehicle 50-100 yards behind a “rabbit” vehicle to avoid being scanned by a radar detector.
• Keep watch for cutouts on the highway and adjust your speed
• If your car is the only one on the road then do not speed
• Invest in a radar detector if it is legal in your state
• Do not drive a vehicle that stands out from the crowd
