commercial vehicle violation notification

Type:

National

Definition:

Notification of a violation. The violation notification flow describes the statute or regulation that was violated and how it was violated (e. g., overweight on specific axle by xxx pounds or which brake was out of adjustment and how far out of adjustment it was). A violation differs from a citation because it is not adjudicated by the courts. It specifically includes the date/time and location of the violation and identification of the vehicle, driver, and associated equipment/cargo.
