Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court - Court Services Unit Alert:
In Virginia, most traffic offenses are classified as "traffic infractions" rather than a criminal offenses because of the nature of most traffic violations.
Many traffic infractions can be prepaid. In those cases, the court appearance can be waived; that is, the juvenile may pay the fine and court costs prior to the court date and does not need to appear in court.
For more serious traffic infractions, the court appearance may not be waived and prepayment of a fine is not an option.
When appearing for a hearing on a traffic infraction, a parent must attend the court hearing with the juvenile.
To prepay a juvenile traffic violation, both the juvenile and parent must sign the waiver form. The parent's signature has to be notarized. Prepayments may be mailed or paid in person.
