What is the diffeerence between a Misdemeanor traffic violation and a felony traffic violation ?

 

A:
The Difference Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony

•    A misdemeanor can escalate to a felony if it is done maliciously and/or it causes major damage. For example, if a driver ran through a red light and intentionally hit another vehicle, the charge may be classified as a felony. It would be even more likely to be classified as a felony if a passenger in the other vehicle died in the crash.
