What type of offenses are addressed by Violation Summons and Complaint forms?

Violation Summons and Complaint forms are specifically used for traffic infractions, which are minor violations of traffic laws that typically do not carry the possibility of jail time. These documents serve to notify the individual of the infraction and provide instructions regarding how to respond, which may include options for paying a fine or contesting the infraction in court.

In the context of the other options, while criminal traffic offenses and serious incidents like driving under the influence or hit-and-run incidents may involve legal action, they are categorized as more serious offenses. Criminal traffic offenses often require more formal charges to be filed, rather than just a summons form. Likewise, offenses such as DUI and hit-and-run are typically classified as criminal offenses, which would involve different legal proceedings compared to simple traffic infractions addressed by the Violation Summons and Complaint.
