Yes. YOu broke the law as to the traffic code. In fact, depending on the number of points, your license could be in jeopardy.

Yes it is a traffic offense so it will go on your driving record.

I think you mean you got a legal, not illegal, ticket for a U turn. It will be recorded to the Secretary of State. It is not a criminal violation.

I do not do criminal law. But generally speaking, any traffic conviction you have will stay on your driving record for a time. It is a matter of years. It is not permanent. It is not a criminal record.

There are actually two records involved here. Your traffic ticket will be decided in the Juvenile Court. Those records will be sealed from public view so someone checking court records will not see the ticket. A moving violation will also be reported (in most cases) to the Virginia DMV and there are DMV rules for whether points are assessed or not. The DMV record operates under different rules from criminal records.

Ask the judge whether you're eligible for traffic school. If you complete traffic school, the ticket will not go onto your record and will not affect your life in any way ever again.

Yes, if you are found responsible for the action it will go onto your driving record and points will be assessed. This may also have significant impact upon your insurance premiums and therefore I would suggest that you consider engaging in attorney to see whether or not this matter can be taken care of in such a way as to not have it abstracted.
