Law enforcement officers have the right to enforce traffic laws anywhere the public has a right to travel- even private property in most cases. Shopping mall parking lots are privately owned, but the public can navigate them. The next issue becomes if you were in or out of the vehicle or the... View More

If pulled over for speeding with a learner's permit, you could receive a ticket, fines, and points on your record. This might delay getting a full license and could impact insurance. Rules vary by state, so check with your local DMV for specific consequences. Drive safely to avoid such situations.
