Fines for moving traffic violations in school zones are:
- Lessened.
- Unchanged.
- Doubled. ✓
- Non-existent.
Answer: C. Doubled.
The fines are doubled for speeding violations in a school zone.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says fines are doubled when speeding infractions happen in a school zone or construction zone. It also describes a sign warning that speeding fines are doubled in active school and work zones. The passages tie this doubling to speeding citations, so the bank answer is supported for school-zone speeding, though the question's wording about moving violations is broader than the passages.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Lessened. — The handbook says the fine is doubled in a school zone, not reduced.
- B. Unchanged. — The handbook says the fine amount goes up in a school zone, so it is not unchanged.
- D. Non-existent. — The handbook describes doubled fines for school-zone speeding, so fines do exist.
Remember it
When you see a school-zone speed sign, link it with the word doubled, not with a lower fine.
