Common Traffic Violations and Their Impact on an Individual’s Driving Record

Common traffic violations can have significant consequences on an individual’s driving record, potentially leading to fines, increased insurance rates, and even license suspension. In Mississippi, some of the most common violations include speeding, reckless driving, driving without a valid license, and DUI/DWI offenses. These violations not only affect your driving privileges but can also impact your ability to secure employment or maintain affordable insurance coverage. Accumulating points on your record can result in higher penalties and potential license revocation. Additionally, more severe violations, such as reckless driving or DUI, carry harsher penalties, including jail time.
