What type of summons is issued for traffic infractions?

The correct answer is Violation Summons and Complaints (VSAC) because this type of summons is specifically designed for dealing with traffic infractions. It is a legal document that allows law enforcement to cite an individual for a traffic violation, such as speeding or running a red light, without the need for a physical arrest. The VSAC outlines the offense and provides details regarding the fine and the process for contesting the violation.

This system streamlines the handling of minor traffic offenses, allowing for the efficient management of cases that do not require criminal charges. The VSAC is an established part of traffic enforcement procedures in many jurisdictions, including Maine, where it aids in enforcing laws while ensuring that individuals have an opportunity to respond to the charges appropriately.

In contrast, the other options refer to different types of legal documents or processes not specifically intended for traffic infractions. Fractional Summons and Complaints pertain to civil matters, while General Traffic Summons may not necessarily reflect the standardized process used for minor violations. Uniform Traffic Violation Notices generally refer to forms used in some jurisdictions but are not the specific terminology adopted in Maine for traffic infractions.
