Whats the punishment for a failure to appear in traffic court in virgina?
Quick Answer: Nothing
Expanded Answer: Unless it's a criminal/traffic type charge (e.g. DUI, Driving on Suspended, Reckless Driving, etc...) the court will most likely try you in your absence and give you the standard fine. If it is a criminal/traffic type charge the court could issue a capias for your arrest and punish you under the contempt statute where you would face up to 10 days in jail.
