Ticket for no proof of insurance (Washington State)?
I recently got a ticket for no proof of insurance, but at the time I did have insurance. I have looked it up and learned that if you present the court with your proof of insurance verifying that at that time they will dismiss the case and you will get a 25$ administrative fee. My question is on the ticket do I select the first choice (I have enclosed a check or money order, in U.S. funds, for the amount listed. I understand this will go on my driving record if "traffic" is checked. DO NOT SEND CASH. NSF checks will be treated as failure to respond.), the second choice (Mitigation hearing. I agree I have committed the infraction(s), but I want a hearing to explain the circumstances. Please send me a court date, and I promise to appear on that date. I know I can ask for witnesses to appear but they are not required to appear. I understand this will go on my driving record if "traffic" is checked. The court may allow time payments or reduce the amount where allowed by law.) or the third option (Contested hearing. I want to contest(challenge) this infraction. I did not commit the infraction. Please send me a court date, and I promise to appear on that date. The state must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that I committed the infraction. I know I can require (subpoena) witnesses, including the officer who wrote the ticket to attend the hearing. The court will tell me how to request a witnes's appearance. I understand this will go on my driving record if I lose and "traffic" is checked.) Also, from what I read they say if you prove you had insurance they will "dismiss it and give you a 25$ dollar administrative fee", so does that mean its like you never got the ticket?
Can you fake proof of insurance in Seattle, WA?
Your friend is correct in some way. Some states is unable to verify insurance when stopped for a violation. They probably do not have the available equipment to do this. The state of California for example, traffic officers are able to verify this by checking their database. Heres the part where he could be wrong. Once a policyholder cancel or let his insurance lapse, the insurance company informs the DMV. You will receive a letter from them that you do not have insurance and should turn in your license plates and if you don't, your license will be suspended. So when the police officer see that your registration is suspended (they run your plates) they will be able to find out that the insurance is also not valid. If the police officer finds out that you do not have car insurance and provided a fake id, you will need to pay the fine of $450 and other court fees (this is in Washington) and increased car insurance rates. For providing fake insurance id, 90 days up to a year imprisonment and $1000-$5000 fine. So ask your friend if its worth it. :) goodluck!
How much is a no proof of insurance speeding ticket in Tylertown, Mississippi?
Your question appears to be asking about two separate violations -- speeding and no proof of insurance. The Mississippi DMV posts fines for speeding on its web page: Charge codes for traffic offenses. I couldn't find a specific charge for operating an uninsured motor vehicle, however. There are some indications that fines can vary according to the county where the stop occurred. If so, and if your citations are based on the county violations and not the State charges, there's not enough information to provide a response.
I got a speeding ticket for 5 over from the Washington State Patrol. Should I mitigate or contest the ticket? Which route should I go down to get it off of my record?
MitigatingMitigating a ticket in Washington does not remove it from your record. It usually means you pay less - sometimes way less - but it stays on your record. DeferringCliff Gilley mentioned this. At either a contesting or mitigating hearing, if you have a clean record, you can ask the judge to defer the ticket. If you go an entire year without getting another ticket, the first ticket will disappear. If you get a second ticket, you will have to pay both of them, and both will go on your record. It's totally up to the judge whether or not to grant a deferment.ContestingMy partner has gotten speeding tickets in two different Washington counties in the past five years. Both times, my partner decided to hire a lawyer to go argue in court and make sure the speeding ticket did not go on anyone's record.The first speeding ticket, which was in Pierce County, was dismissed entirely. We had to pay the lawyer, but not the ticket. The second speeding ticket was in Thurston County, which was trickier, but the lawyer got the judge to agree to change it from a speeding ticket to expired tabs. Expired tabs is a non-moving violation that does not affect your insurance costs. We still had to pay the same amount to the county, and we had to pay the lawyer too, but our insurance costs didn't go up and there are no moving violations on my partner's driving record.The lawyers told us that in Pierce County it is easy to dismiss speeding tickets, but very difficult in Thurston County, so they did the changing-it-to-a-nonmoving-violation instead. Different municipalities have different laws, so there isn't one best way to fight a speeding ticket for all of Washington state. If it is really important to you to not have the ticket on your record, important enough to pay money for - probably way more money than just paying the ticket - hire a traffic lawyer who has worked in your county before. There are lawyers who specialize in contesting tickets, and they'll know the right way to do it in your jurisdiction. You won't even have to show up in court.It cost us $250 to hire a lawyer for each ticket. That's twice what the ticket cost. So you have to be a pretty stubborn cuss to do it.
Do cops ask for proof of insurance when they pull someone over?
I'm 17 and have been driving for a year and 3 months now. I'm always bugging my parents to get me insurance since it's kinda the law and I don't have a job to pay for it. They just say "nah, just drive safely and you won't get pulled over." But what's gonna happen the day that I get pulled over for accidentally speeding or having a taillight out? Is the cop gonna ask for proof of insurance? I know they ask for license and registration and what not, but do they ask for insurance? I asked my dad and he said "oh, just show them mine, it's in the glove compartment." but am i gonna get a big fine or something?! I live in Washington State if that helps

Question about speeding ticket?
As far as I've noticed so far they have only had the speed cameras that actually issue tickets in the work zone areas. I've seen them near the Liberty Road exit on 695 all the time. Usually the speed limit is 50 mph. The threshold for these camera is about 13-15mph so if you are hanging around or under 60 mph while riding through you should be fine. An easy way to tell if you got a ticket is you see a flash in your rear view as you go past. This is especially obvious at night but if you are looking back as you pass the white unmarked Jeep you should be able to tell. Even if you get a ticket, it is applied to the car, not the driver so your premium will not go up. Because they have no proof of who was driving the ticket does not carry points. Its pretty much another money maker for the state under the guise of public safety. I think they can flag you in any lane so your best bet is to hang no more than 10 over in a work zone and just make note of any white Jeeps stopped on the side of the road as these are what the mobile cameras are housed in.
If a visitor in the USA got a traffic ticket, could this affect their license and insurance if they eventually become a resident?
Yes, Your driving history in a state exists even if you have never been issued a license. Convictions and points are added to an existing file or a file is created if none exists. Your privilege to drive can be suspended or revoked before you are ever issued a license. This history is shared among states.Let’s say you are visiting from Germany and get a speeding ticket in Washington D.C. You go home and do not take care of the citation. You are convicted in absentia and a warrant is issued for your arrest. The court sends the information to DMV. A file is created with your personal information, the conviction, the failure to appear and a point is assessed against your record. You emigrate to the US 8 months later, settling in Kansas. You go to the DMV to get a license. They tell you that you have to settle things with the Washington D.C. DMV first. 4 months later, after you make nice with Washington D.C., Kansas issues you a license. The insurance company you choose will charge you a higher rate based on the conviction because it is within their range of 3 years.
