Speeding is generally considered a traffic violation and is classified as a misdemeanor or infraction in many jurisdictions, rather than a civil offense. It typically results in fines, points on a driver's license, or other penalties. However, in some cases, particularly if it leads to an accident or injury, it can have civil implications, such as liability in a lawsuit. Overall, while it may involve civil aspects, speeding itself is primarily a criminal offense.
