Why I built VioCodes
We all know the pain of digging through the SMS Appendix A spreadsheet every time we need to look up a code, its severity weight, or BASIC. And officers sometimes write codes that aren't even in there — state-specific, undocumented, the works.
And you're not always sitting in front of a computer. Maybe you're at the yard, in the cab, on the road, or talking to a driver right after an inspection — a spreadsheet on your work laptop doesn't help you there. With VioCodes, pull out your phone, type the code or a word from the description, and you have the points and BASIC in seconds.
This is one centralized lookup. Search by code or description, see points and BASIC instantly. If you hit a code that's missing, you can submit it for review and it gets added to the live list — so the rest of us can find it next time.
No signup needed to browse. Register only if you want to submit a missing code or comment. Free for everyone, no subscription, no monetization. It's a community project for safety managers, by a safety guy.
Fast lookup
Debounced search with match highlighting, BASIC + OOS filters, sortable columns, and pagination across 2,000+ codes.
Add missing codes
When an officer cites a code that isn't in Appendix A, submit it. Field notes, state, date, and reasoning captured.
