As you can imagine, there are many different types of traffic citations that a person can receive while driving in and around Courtland and Emporia, or anywhere in Virginia for that matter. Not only do Drivers need to be concerned about the traffic laws that the Commonwealth has set forward, but every jurisdiction throughout Virginia has its own standards for handling traffic safety issues.
Virginia classifies traffic violations on a point system, and most violations are considered “three,” “four,” or “six” points, with the severity of the violation increasing at each point. Here, we discuss some of the most common violations at each point level.
The following are all classified as felony or misdemeanor reckless driving violations. Some of these may be similar to three- and four-point violations, but are elevated to reckless driving.
The amount of time that each violation remains on a person’s driving record varies. However, it is important to understand that points are not the only thing that drivers need to be concerned about. Most traffic violations also come with fines (which can be significant), and some violations come with possible jail time.
