- Driving a vehicle when the person has knowledge of the suspension, which in some cases occurs when refusing to submit to a chemical test.
- Using a vehicle after the person's license has been suspended for violating any traffic law.
- The driver must keep the vehicle insured and not neglect traffic fines that have been received.
- When a person is declared to be a negligent operator of a vehicle.
- Ordinary violation. It refers to the constant repetition of the same traffic violation.
- Failure to report to the Department of Motor Vehicles an accident in which the person was involved.
