What best describes a non-moving violation?

A non-moving violation is best described as an infraction that occurs when a vehicle is stationary. This type of violation typically involves offenses that do not require the vehicle to be in motion, such as parking violations, failure to display certain permits or tags, and other infractions that can occur while the vehicle is stopped. Because non-moving violations are associated with conditions that do not involve the act of driving or the vehicle's speed, they are treated differently than moving violations, which occur when the vehicle is in operation.

Non-moving violations are often penalized differently and may carry fines or citations that do not affect the driver's record as severely as moving violations do. Understanding this distinction helps drivers recognize the nature of their infractions and the potential consequences they face.
