Can I see a copy of the traffic ticket I received?

Yes, you can view a copy of the traffic ticket you have received. In Virginia, the law requires the police officer issuing the ticket to provide a copy of the ticket to the driver. This is known as a uniform summons. The purpose of the uniform summons is to grant the driver an opportunity to view the ticket issued to them with the details of their alleged traffic violation. Generally speaking, the uniform summons will detail the exact violation, the date and location of the traffic violation as well as the date, time and place when the driver must appear in court. Furthermore, the uniform summons will include the name and contact information of the issuing police officer. To view a copy of your ticket, either visit the clerk of the court in the jurisdiction where you received the ticket or request a copy from the police officer.
