  • driving to slow
  • reckless driving
  • following to close
  • failure to comply with traffic light signals
  • failure to comply with traffic signs
  • making illegal turns
  • unsafe driving

  • parking meter expiration
  • double-parking
  • parking in a designated fire zone
  • parking in a designated handicapped zone
