Points are only issued for what type of violations?

Points are issued for moving violations because these involve the operation of a vehicle that can affect traffic safety. Moving violations, such as speeding or running a red light, demonstrate a driver's failure to follow traffic laws while driving. These actions not only put the driver at risk but also endanger other road users.

In contrast, non-moving violations and parking violations typically do not involve the actual movement of the vehicle, which is why they do not result in points being added to a driver's record. Misdemeanors can encompass a wide range of offenses, but not all misdemeanors relate specifically to driving behaviors that would warrant point penalties. Focusing on moving violations is critical for maintaining road safety and ensuring accountability for drivers on the road.
