Concept in Definition ABC

An infraction is a transgression, a breach, or a violation of a rule, a convention or a pre-established pact.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned transgression may lead to a traffic violation or fine, a crime, or a misdemeanor, depending on the case and it will also be plausible to receive a penalty or punishment that will depend on the severity and what the legislation corresponding stipulate.

We must say that generally the concept of infringement is applied to designate less relevant regulations, that is, they do not have important legal implications, because it is a minor offense than with a fine, normally economic, it is considered punished and learned.

Traffic violation

The traffic or traffic offense implies the non-compliance with current regulations regarding the circulation of automobiles and which results in an administrative sanction, although, in those cases in which a serious offense has been incurred, the sanction that will be applied may correspond to the criminal order, including determining the arrest and imprisonment of the motorist who has starred in the incident of traffic.

Now, we must emphasize that in some parts an abuse has been generated in this sense and instead of generating an awareness in the population, to avoid committing an infraction, ended up becoming a collection method that does not aim to achieve a good coexistence Social.

This type of offense includes all those promoted by current 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 recklessness.

Types of traffic offenses

There are various types of traffic offenses, minor, moderate and serious, in which the life of a third party or the offender himself is put at risk ...Excess of velocity, irresponsible driving, driving under the influence of any type of narcotic or alcohol, disobedience of current traffic regulations, such as lack of respect for the signs: turn in forbidden places, travel the wrong way, cross when the traffic light does not allow it, bad parking, obstruct the passage, not dispose of documentation proving fitness to drive, such as driving record, lack of documentation proving ownership of the vehicle being driven, speeding, swooping, 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 the diseases.

The recklessness 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, on a street in which cars turn, is an authentic recklessness on the part of the pedestrian; driving under the influence of alcohol, exceeding what the law it is also a tremendous recklessness on the part of a driver.

These two causes are the ones that are at the top of the rankings and the ones that truncate the most lives.

Regarding drivers who drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol and kill a pedestrian, and are proves such a criminal act by the way, they can be arrested, subjected to processes and be sentenced to prison effective.

In countries like Argentina, where this fact is certainly common, there has been a change in the current legislation and so today this action It has been classified as reckless driving and in the event that the driver who drives drunk kills someone and it is proven, he must serve prison effective.

Before, a good part of these events were exempt from prison, while the increases in the accident rate have led to the decision to toughen the penalties.

Crime and contravention

On the other hand, according to the Right Penal, the crime is a action or omission that is opposed to the legal system in question and to which a penalty established by law corresponds to its commission.

Murder, defamation, sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, torture, house rape, robbery, piracy at any level, drug trafficking, damage to environment, adultery, illicit association, treason, bribery, abuse of authority, false testimony, counterfeiting at any level, war crime, among others, are some of the most common crimes known.

For its part, the lack or contravention, in Criminal Law it turns out to be that conduct unlawful that puts a protected legal asset at risk. The offenses are less serious than the crime and therefore are not classified as such and do not result in being punished with serious penalties such as deprivation of liberty.
