action to be taken.
The ticket can have an impact on your driving privilege because 1408s
are assessed points via the Fort Monroe points system. The points can

that installation’s driving regulations, you could have your driving
privilege suspended or revoked at the gaining duty station.
The vast majority of 1408s issued on Fort Monroe are for parking
