How long do I have to appeal a traffic ticket in Virginia?
You have 10 calendar days from the conviction date to file a notice of appeal to circuit court. Missing this deadline forfeits your right to appeal. An attorney can file the notice and handle the appeal process.

What happens if I ignore a Virginia traffic ticket?
Ignoring a ticket leads to a default conviction, fines, court costs, a license suspension, and a possible arrest warrant. The DMV will suspend your driving privilege until all fines and costs are paid and court requirements are met.
How many points will a speeding ticket add to my Virginia license?
Virginia uses a demerit point system: 3 points for speeding 1-9 mph over limit, 4 points for 10-19 mph over, and 6 points for 20+ mph over. Accumulating 12 points in 12 months triggers a license suspension hearing.
