Road traffic law encompasses all regulations governing the safe operation of motor vehicles on public roads. This includes rules for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and all road users. When violations occur—whether speeding, driving under the influence, hit-and-run incidents, or accident-related claims—the legal consequences can be substantial: administrative fines, immediate licence confiscation, mandatory court appearances, licence suspension periods, compulsory re-examination requirements, and even criminal liability.
