Traffic infraction moving violations are treated differently than non moving infraction violations in Washington State.

Under Washington Administrative Code(WAC) 308-104-160, traffic "moving violations" consist of all driving offenses that involve dangerous or potentially dangerous actions while operating a vehicle. Such as speeding, running stop sign/red light, changing lanes without signaling, talking on a cell phone, following too closely, etc. Such moving violations result in a Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) driver license suspension if not paid or resolved in court. And such a DOL driver license suspension in Washington State will usually automatically result in a suspended driver license in most other states.

Any traffic infraction offense not listed under WAC 308-104-160, is not a "moving violation" in Washington. And non moving traffic infraction violations do not result in a DOL driver license suspension in Washington. These include all parking tickets, camera traffic tickets, defective car equipment tickets, minor vehicle paperwork registration / licensing tickets, etc.
