What does a Category B offense typically refer to?

A Category B offense often refers to a specific classification for certain traffic violations that are considered less severe than other types of offenses but are still significant in terms of public safety and law enforcement. These violations might include things like failing to yield, running a red light, or driving without a valid license. They typically carry penalties such as fines or points on a driver’s record, rather than more serious consequences found with severe crimes.

This classification is part of a structured system to help law enforcement and the legal system categorize offenses and administer appropriate penalties. Understanding these categories enables officers to appropriately enforce laws and apply the proper legal framework during traffic stops or investigations.
