The U.S. regulates most traffic crimes, including drunk driving, driving without a driver's license, and reckless driving, by the traffic-related laws of each state. However, traffic violations or traffic offenses in areas owned or controlled by the federal government are subject to federal jurisdiction under applicable federal law. Each state establishes regulations and procedures for traffic violations, traffic crimes and traffic accident responsibilities in related laws based on the standards laid out by the relevant federal agencies. Each state shall classify traffic violations as a traffic infraction, traffic misdemeanor, and traffic felony, considering the dangers of such acts and their harmful effects on road safety. An infraction is a form of sanction, not a crime, which includes ticket issuance for minor traffic violations such as speeding and running a red light. In the event of an infraction, the driver shall pay a fine by mail or online by the State's regulations or the extent of the violation or by hearing the court to acknowledge and pay the fine. However, if a driver denies his/her violation, he/she may be referred to a formal trial at the judgment of the court. Traffic misdemeanor is targeted at traffic violations that are relatively more serious than the infraction. The type of traffic misdemeanor varies from state to state, but if any state does not reflect acts that sanctioned by NHTSA, it is possible to suspend subsidies to highways located in that state. Therefore, traffic misdemeanor, which is subject to criminal and legal sanctions in most states, does not show much difference, including drunk driving and reckless driving. Traffic misdemeanor is subject to criminal punishment (unlike the infraction). Thus, the state law clearly defines types of the traffic misdemeanor. However, considering the facts, the degree of punishment of the act can vary depending on the degree of threat posed to road safety. In New York State, reckless driving constitutes a traffic misdemeanor. The police is given considerable discretion to determine whether it constitutes reckless driving, and prosecutors must prove in court that they have neglected the safety of others in a way that would not be done by a rational person to prosecute violent driving. Traffic felony is the most serious violation of traffic violations. Most states allow to give both more than a year in prison and fine higher than any misdemeanor in case of a felony. The types of traffic felony vary from state to state, but in general, violations that constitute traffic misdemeanors are treated as felonies if they cause property damage, human casualties, and other serious damages. Typical types of traffic felonies include driving under the influence (DUI), driving without a license, driving reckless driving, running after an accident, and vehicular homicide. A typical traffic felony stipulated in the New York Criminal Law is Vehicular Manslaughter (New York Penal Law §125.12-14). Second degree and first degree and aggravated vehicular manslaughter, all of which are required to operate after drinking (drugs) resulting in death. Most states are trying not to criminalize traffic violations that are not habitual or have not caused any damage. However, if it is habitual or causes damage to other people's bodies and lives, it does not lose its effect by increasing its responsibilities for serious crimes.
