An infraction is a transgression, a breach or the breach of a rule, a convention or a pre-established pact.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned transgression may lead to a infraction or traffic fine, a crime, or a misdemeanordepending on the case and it will also be plausible to receive a penalty or punishment that will depend on the severity and what the corresponding legislation stipulates.
We must say that generally the concept of infraction is applied to designate less relevant regulations, that is, they do not have important legal implications, because it is a minor offense that with a fine, normally economic, is considered punished and learned.
traffic violation
The traffic or traffic violation implies the non-compliance with current regulations regarding the circulation of automobiles and which results in an administrative sanctionalthough, in those cases in which a serious offense has been incurred, the sanction that will be applied may correspond to the criminal order, even determining the arrest and imprisonment of the motorist who has starred in the traffic incident.
However, we must emphasize that in some parts an abuse has been generated in this sense and instead of generating awareness in the population, so that they avoid committing an infraction, it ended up becoming a collection method that does not have the purpose of achieving a good coexistence social.
This type of infraction includes all those promoted by current circulation vehicles, such is the case of cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles and even those that can be triggered by pedestrians as a result of their imprudence.
Types of Traffic Violations
There are various types of traffic violations, mild, moderate and serious, in which the life of a third party or the offender himself is put at risk…Excessive speed, irresponsible driving, driving under the influence of some type of drug or alcohol, disobedience to current traffic regulations, such as disrespecting signage: turning in prohibited places, driving the wrong way, crossing when the traffic light does not allow it, bad parking, obstructing the passage, not having the documentation that proves the aptitude to drive, such as the driving license, the lack of documentation that proves the ownership of the vehicle that is being drivenspeeding, run of chopped, among others.
Increase in road accidents and how to deal with the problem
At present, road accidents have become a scourge and a very serious problem in many nations of the world, basically because they end the lives of thousands of people and in many places they are the main cause of death, surpassing diseases.
The imprudence of pedestrians when crossing the street, and that of motorists in driving, are the main causes. A pedestrian who does not cross the pedestrian path, doing it in the middle of the block, in a street where cars turn, is a real imprudence on the part of the pedestrian; driving under the influence of alcohol, exceeding what is permitted by law is also grossly reckless on the part of a driver.
These two causes are the ones that are at the top of the rankings and the ones that cut the most lives.
Regarding drivers who drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol and kill a pedestrian, and such a criminal act is proven, they can be arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to effective imprisonment.
In countries like Argentina, where this fact is certainly common, there has been a change in the current legislation and so today this action has been classified as reckless driving and in the event that the driver who drives drunk kills someone and it is verified, he must comply effective prison.
Before, a good part of these events were free from prison, while the increases in the accident rate have generated the decision to toughen the penalties.
Crime and contravention
On the other hand, according to the Criminal lawhe crime is a action or omission that opposes the legal system in question and to which a penalty typified by law corresponds for its commission.
Murder, defamation, sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, torture, burglary, robbery, piracy at any level, drug trafficking, damage to the environment, adultery, illicit association, Treason, bribery, abuse of authority, false testimony, falsification at any level, war crime, among others, are some of the most well-known crimes.
On her side, the fault or contraventionin Criminal Law turns out to be that unlawful conduct that puts a protected legal right at risk. Misdemeanors are less serious than the crime and therefore are not classified as such and do not end up being sanctioned with serious penalties such as deprivation of liberty.
