There are many reasons to pay careful attention to your driving in California. Moving violations are dangerous infractions of the driving code that can result in heavy fines, jail time, and even suspension of your driving license. California moving violations occur when a driver in a moving vehicle commits a traffic offense. These moving violations can be classified as infractions, misdemeanors, or felonies. Infractions are minor offenses that usually draw a fine of $200 or less and one point on your driving record. Misdemeanors are more serious and can result in fines of up to $2,000 and a year in jail. They can add one or two points to your driving record. Felonies are the most serious moving violations and can result in prison terms. Your driver's license can be suspended or revoked if you accumulate 4 points in a 12-month period.
