What type of summons is issued for traffic infractions?

The correct choice is Violation Summons and Complaints (VSAC), which is specifically designed to handle traffic infractions. In Maine, the VSAC is utilized to cite individuals for various traffic violations, such as speeding or running a stop sign, without requiring a court appearance for minor offenses. This summons provides a streamlined process for adjudicating traffic infractions, allowing the violator to pay the fine or contest the charge in court if they choose.

In contrast, fractional summonses are often related to more serious criminal offenses and do not directly pertain to traffic infractions. A general traffic summons could imply a broader range of traffic-related citations, but does not accurately reflect the specific terminology used in Maine law, which emphasizes the VSAC for these infractions. The Uniform Traffic Violation Notice is a more generic term that may be used in other jurisdictions but is not the established nomenclature used within Maine for handling traffic violations. Therefore, the Violation Summons and Complaints (VSAC) is the most accurate and relevant choice in this context.
