How is a "moving violation" classified under Title 29-A?

A "moving violation" under Title 29-A is classified as a traffic infraction. This classification indicates that the violation typically involves the operation of a vehicle in a manner that violates traffic laws, such as speeding, running a red light, or failing to yield. Traffic infractions are generally considered less severe than criminal violations. They don't carry the same level of penalty or potential criminal record, instead usually resulting in fines or points against the driver's license.

It's important to understand that while moving violations are serious in terms of road safety and can impact insurance premiums and driving records, they are not classified as civil offenses, minor offenses, or criminal violations. Each of these other classifications carries different implications for legal proceedings and penalties. Traffic infraction is the most fitting label, reflecting the nature of these violations within the legal framework.
