    Sorry, mistranslation. I meant violations. Over here we only split into violations and crimes.

    Violations cover most things done with a car/in traffic without actively harming someone.

      Yeah, in English (in the US, generally) we’d call that a civil violation. Or a civil action where a lawsuit is brought by a private citizen, like suing someone for damaging your property. It’s against the law, but probably not going to be prosecuted by the government.
