The Facts About Washington State
Negligent Driving – First Degree
A common
misconception concerning Washington
negligent driving cases revolves around the
fact that many believe that it is little
more than an ordinary traffic infraction. In
truth, WA first degree negligent driving is
a misdemeanor traffic crime with a maximum
penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000
fine. If you have been charged with
Washington State negligent driving – first
degree, it is vital that you take the charge
seriously. The long term ramifications of
being convicted include the possibility of
higher insurance premiums and a criminal
record.

driving law states
that persons who

a way that endangers
another person or
their property, AND
exhibit signs of
having consumed
alcohol or drugs,
can be charged with
negligent driving.

can have a few sips
of beer before

wheel of your car,

with serious crime.

that you consumed
alcohol or drugs,

some way that
endangered others or
their property. It
is essential that
you put an
