An infringement can be issued to a driver/official/entrant if they have breached a rule. There are four different types of infringements can be issued:
- An endorsement
- A dollar-value infringement

- Additional penalties
An official will determine how they will infringe the competitor based on the rule that was breached.

Penalties
A dollar value penalty will be raised against the licence, this will display a yellow traffic light with a $ sign. The licence holder clears the infringement by paying the fee from their own digital licence.
Additional penalties like time penalties can be noted, although this will not update to any official timings - this will need to be processed manually.
Endorsements
An endorsement will be recorded on the licence and will apply until the end of the endorsement period. If the licence holder is issued another endorsement for the same breach, the licence will be suspended until the end of the original endorsement period. When the licence is suspended the traffic light will turn red on all licences that person owns.
Licence Suspension
A licence suspension is an automatic loss of licence and will turn the traffic light red. A licence suspension is removed at the end of the suspension period.

An infringement condition may also be cleared by a successful protest. An infringement is cleared by:
