Which court handles infractions and motor vehicle misdemeanors with pleas?

• A. Administrative court
• B. Civil court
• C. Criminal court
• D. Family court

Answer: (A)

Infractions and motor-vehicle misdemeanors with pleas are handled in an administrative court because these are regulatory offenses resolved through hearings focused on penalties, licensing, and compliance rather than through a full criminal trial. An administrative court is designed to adjudicate such offenses efficiently, allowing defendants to enter pleas (guilty or no contest) and face fines or license actions without the need for jury trials or heavier criminal proceedings. Civil courts deal with private disputes, criminal courts handle crimes with potential jail time, and family courts manage domestic-related matters, so the administrative forum is the appropriate venue for these types of offenses and pleas.
