Defending Your Driving Record and Protecting Your Rights

Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets are among the most common traffic violations, but they can have lasting effects on your driving record and insurance rates. We work to challenge the evidence and reduce penalties to protect your record.

  • RCW 46.61.400: Basic rules and maximum speed limits.

    RCW 46.61.440: Speed limits in school or playground zones.

  • Fines for speeding vary based on how far over the limit you were traveling.

    Speeding in school zones or construction zones carries enhanced penalties.

    Excessive speeding may result in reckless driving charges.

  • Q: Can I fight a speeding ticket in Washington?

    A: Yes, we can challenge the accuracy of radar or laser devices, question the officer’s observations, or identify procedural errors.

    Q: What happens if I ignore a speeding ticket?

    A: Ignoring a ticket can result in additional fines, a suspended license, and even a warrant for your arrest.

HOV Violations

High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane violations occur when a driver uses an HOV lane without the required passengers or a valid exemption. These violations can lead to fines, points on your license, and increased insurance costs.

  • RCW 46.61.165: High-occupancy vehicle lanes.

    RCW 46.61.690: Penalties for HOV violations.

  • HOV lane violations typically result in fines, which can increase for repeat offenses.

    Certain vehicles, like motorcycles and electric cars, may qualify for exemptions.

  • Q: Can I contest an HOV violation ticket?

    A: Yes, we can review the circumstances of your ticket and identify defenses, such as lack of proper signage or unclear lane markings.

    Q: What is the fine for an HOV violation in Washington?

    A: The fine varies by county but typically ranges from $136 to $250 for a first offense.

Negligent Driving

Negligent driving is a serious traffic offense that can result in costly fines, higher insurance rates, and even license suspension. Our legal team defends against these charges to help you avoid severe penalties.

  • RCW 46.61.5249: Negligent driving in the first degree.

    RCW 46.61.525: Negligent driving in the second degree.

  • First-degree negligent driving involves driving negligently while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

    Second-degree negligent driving does not involve impairment but still poses a risk to others.

    Penalties can include fines, probation, and defensive driving courses.

  • Q: How can I defend against a negligent driving charge?

    A: We can argue lack of evidence, improper police procedures, or that your actions did not constitute negligence under the law.
