Traffic Laws
Traffic laws protect you on our streets and highways. It is very important that everyone must obey the orders of a police officer, firefighter who is directing traffic.
What Is A Traffic Ticket?
A traffic ticket is a notification that one has committed a minor legal infraction, for which a fine must be paid, and/or an appearance in court must be made (See: summons). Typically this means a parking ticket for parking in an unlawful manner or allowing a parking meter to expire, or a ticket for a moving violation such as speeding.
A ticket trap is where police deliberately set up in a place where motorists are likely to break the law, even if just on a technicality. This may include places where the speed limit is set too low (called a speed trap), or where there is an intersection with an awkward or confusing design. Often, this is used to earn extra money for a municipality, such as a poor rural town or county. This is also often illegal under the laws of the state, province, or other jurisdiction.
Basic Traffic Laws:
Don't drink and drive. Don't drive when you're taking medication that will
affect your driving.
Always wear your seat belt.
Obey the speed limits. Slow down when road and weather conditions are
poor.
Don't take risks: don't cut people off in traffic, make sudden lane changes
or run yellow lights.
Don't drive when you’re tired, upset or sick.
If you're in doubt, let the other driver go first — yield the right-of-way.
Keep a two-second space between your vehicle and the one ahead. To
check your distance: start counting when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed
object, stop counting when your vehicle reaches the same spot.
Cut the distractions: don’t overcrowd the vehicle or play loud music.
Always check your blind spot: look in your mirror and over your shoulder
before you change lanes.
Check traffic in all directions before going into an intersection.
