The Facts About Washington State No Insurance Infractions
 

Everyone driving a vehicle in Washington must have liability insurance. The intent is to make sure that if you are struck by another vehicle, and it is their fault, they can pay for the damage which they caused.
 
To create a large incentive to purchase insurance, the fine for a Washington no insurance infraction is $550. Thankfully, if you were insured at the time of being pulled over but just forgot to have your insurance card in the car, you can get the Washington traffic ticket dismissed. Simply show the court your proof that your vehicle and driver were insured at the time of the stop. The Washington ticket

 

 
 
 

will then be dismissed, with a statute required $25 administrative fee.
 
Often, a person cited for a WA State no insurance infraction will also receive a ticket for the offense that initially led to being stopped by an Officer. In cases such as this it is essential that an experienced Washington traffic attorney represent your interests in court. Often, it is possible to have a Washington State no insurance ticket dismissed or reduced.
 
There are various legitimate reasons that a person might lack valid insurance at the time of a traffic stop. Sometimes a person simply forgets to pay their bill. If you were not covered by insurance at the time of the stop, most judges are willing to reduce the penalty amount if you can show proof that you obtained insurance in a timely manner afterwards.

Understanding the complex laws governing a no insurance ticket is vital when attempting to have the charge dismissed or reduced.
