venial sins are forgiven at Mass
That is one other way - yes. But there isn’t anything wrong in confessing venial sins if one does not have mortal sins to confess. Otherwise the past Popes and Saints were wasting their time and the confessor as well. Confessing venial sins used to also be known as confessions of devotion. Saturday afternoon there was always a line up to go to Confesssion, unlike nowadays, when in the average parish there are only a few going to confession.
If done deliberately thus knowingly breaking a just law, then yes, there is sin. Obviously there are other factors that would need to be taken into account to determine whether it was an imperfection, venial or mortal/grave sin for any particular individual.
If minor traffic violations are sinful then I’m guessing most people should not drive ever. I don’t know any of you personally but I would wager a plugged nickle that if you drove me around for an hour I could condemn your soul by the standards set here.
As in all things, there are venial and grave matter and I have not stated all traffic violations are serious enough to condemn a soul. I think that is an unnecessary and unhelpful exaggeration.
After all - all sin is offensive to God and we should be striving to eliminate all sin from our lives with the grace of God. I think most people including myself will be struggling to overcome various sins right up until the day we die, but that doesn’t mean a person should become complacent and adopt the attitude of “hey, it’s no big deal, don’t sweat it, don’t worry about it, it’s only venial so it doesn’t really matter” etc.
