I know I agreed with someone else's response, but if what you want is less legalistic, I'm sure that this would work.

agree  Matheus Chaud: I think you are right. It seems to me that a misdemeanor would be something more serious, like an "infração grave" or "infração gravíssima", while minor offenses would cover both "infração leve" and infração média".

  -> Thanks, Matheus.
disagree  Mario Freitas: In Brazil, "minor offense" would be the "infração leve". This one is a mid-level or intermediate one.

"Traffic offenses are typically governed by state motor vehicle codes that define offenses ranging from minor infractions to severe violations."

Já que Beatriz não define para qual variação de inglês ela quer a traduzção, acredito que uma tradução genérico seja apropriado.
