Infracciones de tráfico

 

The agency in charge of enforcing a particular traffic rule will depend on the location of the traffic stop. Infracciones de tráfico  Each local law enforcement agency has authority to issue citations in a certain geographical area, though these areas can overlap. For example, a person driving on a highway running through a city could be pulled over and issued a citation by an officer from the city police department, a deputy from the county sheriff's office, or a trooper from the state highway patrol. Those who receive a traffic citation should inspect it carefully to ascertain the name and location of the court that will process the case, and whether a personal court appearance is required. Other common moving violations result from following too close (tailgating), neglecting to yield to emergency vehicles, driving too fast for road conditions, failing to maintain a single lane of travel (swerving), not wearing a seat belt, and not securing young passengers in a child safety seat. Driving with a suspended license is another common offense, as is driving without liability insurance. Talking on a cell phone is a relatively new, but common, traffic infraction. Similarly, failing to stop at a red light is cited with much greater frequency in recent years, due to the development of intersection surveillance cameras that automatically issue tickets to offenders.
