Traffic Offenses / Tickets

Some traffic offenses, such as driving without a license and driving on a suspended license, are considered criminal offenses. Also, if you accumulate traffic offense convictions, you may be charged with being a Habitual Traffic Violator (HTV) or Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO), which could lead to your license being suspended for 10 years.
