Manassas Traffic Infractions
July 1, 2018 by Jean Humbrecht
Manassas traffic infractions are not considered crimes. They are punished with fines, DMV points, and no jail time.
However, convictions for too many traffic infractions on your Virginia driving record can lead to consequences beyond just fines.
Additionally, some offenses may seem like traffic infractions, but are actually crimes. These offenses can be punished with jail, high fines, and driver’s license suspension, and potential seizure and forfeiture of the vehicle used during the commission of the offense.
These offenses include, but are not limited to, Reckless Driving, Eluding the Police, Failing to Stop at the scene at an Accident, Hit and Run, Driving on a Suspended License, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, and Racing.
Penalties for Manassas Traffic Infractions
Manassas Traffic Infractions Are Punished with Fines and DMV Points
Traffic infractions in Manassas are punished with fines and court costs.
Additionally, the DMV will automatically impose demerit points for most traffic infraction convictions anywhere in Virginia. The number of points depend on the severity of the offense.
Accumulating too many points in a short amount of time will lead to mandatory driver’s license suspension by the DMV.
Fines for Manassas traffic infractions can be pre-paid without having to come to court. However, paying the fine results in a conviction on the person’s driving record and the DMV will automatically assess demerit points.
If a person does not pre-pay the ticket, he or she must come to court. Failing to appear in court will most likely result in a conviction on the person’s driving record, a fine, court costs, additional court costs for failing to appear, and automatic DMV points.
