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.

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.
Obviously, it’s
important to discuss
your particular
situation with a
Washington State
traffic lawyer as
soon as possible.
Understanding the
complex laws
governing a no
insurance ticket is
vital when
attempting to have
the charge dismissed
or reduced. Pleading
guilty automatically
results in a license
suspension, so
exploring all of
your alternatives
makes good sense.
