ALWAYS FIGHT YOUR TRAFFIC TICKET. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE.

In Washington, traffic tickets remain on your Department of Licensing driving record for five years. More than one moving traffic ticket in three years could cost you hundreds, even thousands, of $ extra dollars in higher auto insurance premiums. Those auto insurance rate increases stay with you for many years. That's why you should always contest any moving traffic ticket, even if it's only your first. Especially if you're under age 26 or over age 70. Those age groups pay the highest auto insurance $ premiums. And getting three (3) or more moving violations in one (1) year, or four (4) or more in two (2) years, will now result in a sixty (60) day license suspension. 

Get Your Traffic Ticket Dismissed Or At Least Reduced

When you're fighting a traffic ticket, you want a traffic ticket lawyer who knows and understands all of the traffic laws. Traffic law is unfamiliar to most people. Hire a knowledgeable traffic ticket lawyer like Lynnwood Attorney Paul Hanson to guide you through the legal system.

Fighting Traffic Tickets in Washington State

Being represented by a skilled traffic attorney is your best defense.  Attorney Hanson knows the court rules and can present your case in a persuasive way, usually without your presence in court.

Getting three (3) moving traffic tickets in one year, or four (4) in two years, will now result in the Department of Licensing automatically imposing a sixty (60) day license suspension for "continuing offenses" followed by a one (1) year license probation period.  If you think your license may be suspended for too  many moving traffic tickets, you can contact the Washington State Department of Licensing at their website www.dol.wa.gov for more information.  

After your 60 day license suspension is over, you must complete an 8 hour defensive driving course and obtain SR 22 (high risk) auto insurance for 36 months to reinstate your license. After reinstating your license, you will be placed on a 1 year probation period. If you receive another moving traffic violation during the probation period, you will be suspended again for 30 days.
