Questions and answers

When can a traffic ticket be voided?

Once a traffic ticket has been issued, normally only the issuing official may void it. The DFC, or his designees (20 SFS/S-3O), may void for obvious administrative or legal errors when an inappropriate citation has been annotated. (paragraph 33-332)

What happens when a vehicle owner knowingly permits an unqualified driver to drive?

When the vehicle owner knowingly or willingly permits an unqualified or unlicensed driver to operate their vehicle, points will be assessed against both the violator and the vehicle owner. (paragraph 33-332)

Who may conduct an inquiry into a reported moving violation?

Upon receipt of DD Form 1408 or other military law enforcement report of a moving violation, unit commanders may delegate the responsibility for conducting an inquiry to their section commander, first sergeant, or a key staff agency head. (paragraph 33-332)

What happens when a DD Form 1408 is contested and cannot be resolved?

DD Form 1408 which is contested by the violator and which cannot be resolved between the issuing agency and the violator's commander will be referred to 20 MSG/CC for review and final disposition. (paragraph 33-332)

When is an advisory letter sent for traffic points?

The 20 SFS/S5R will forward an advisory letter, on behalf of the DFC, through the unit commander or supervisor, to any person accumulating six traffic points within a six-month period. (paragraph 33-332)
