What is an example of a moving violation?

  1. Parking in a no-parking zone

  2. Driving through a red light

  3. Being parked for too long

  4. Not having a working tail light

The correct answer is: Driving through a red light

Driving through a red light is considered a moving violation because it involves the act of driving a vehicle in a manner that violates traffic laws while the vehicle is in motion. This type of violation poses an immediate risk to both the driver and other road users, as it disregards the control measures aimed at managing traffic flow and ensuring safety at intersections. Other choices pertain to stationary or parked vehicles or are related to vehicle conditions, such as parking violations or issues with vehicle equipment, which do not involve the vehicle moving at the time of the offense. Therefore, these scenarios do not qualify as moving violations, but rather as parking violations or equipment-related issues.
