“Do red light tickets go on your record in Virginia?” The answer—yes, if the ticket is issued by a police officer.

If you’re convicted, your red light ticket violation will go on your driving record—up to four points can be added to your record–which may also cause your insurance rates go up, and you may have a fine of no more than $350.

Some people are of the erroneous opinion that the best way to fight a red light ticket is to ignore it and not pay it. This can lead to collection agencies hounding you for payment and a lowering of your credit score.
