Traffic tickets are fairly common.
Traffic tickets are issued for a variety of reasons, including speeding, running stop signs and running red lights. These types of traffic tickets are called moving violations, and when a traffic ticket of this nature is issued to a driver there is a fine that must be paid in order to avoid a court hearing and the possibility of spending time in jail for non-payment of a traffic ticket. Virginia law requires that all traffic tickets be paid within 30 days of receipt.
