Im from out of state but I have a good driving record. Do I have to appear in person in court in Virginia in order to have my speeding ticket referred to a driver improvement program for dismissal?
A. No. You may hire an attorney to appear for you. In that situation you should consult with an experienced attorney to determine if you fall within the parameters of the courts policy for referral to driving school. Policies vary by county. You will need to provide your attorney with a copy of your driving record from the state that issued your drivers license prior to the court date.
