The list encompasses a wide array of offenses, ranging from minor infractions like failing to display a license sticker on a motorcycle (carrying a $25 fine) to more serious violations such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which can result in a hefty $500 penalty.

Some other notable violations and their associated fines include:

• Excessive passengers on any motor vehicle or trailer: $25
• Using motor vehicles with defective tires: $50
• Fail to signal when changing directions: $50
• Driving a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license: $50
