Can you please repeat the categories of violation?

You said vehicle miles traffic
Javier Lojan
0:40:09
and Yes so it's the VTL law so it's any you know vehicle and traffic law violation.
0:40:16
So I'll give you a sense of a vehicle traffic law violation, violation that's like disobeying a steady red light.

An ECB violation is, like a noxious liquid.
0:40:30
Street obstruction is another ECB violation, and then disobeying a traffic signal is a vehicle traffic law violation.
