A traffic ticket, also called a citation, is an official document issued to a driver or vehicle owner by law enforcement for violating a traffic law. Traffic tickets can be issued for a variety of offenses, including speeding, running a red light, or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If you have been issued a traffic ticket, it is important to take steps to pay or contest the ticket as soon as possible. Failure to do so could result in additional fines, penalties, or even a suspended license.
