Frequently asked questions
Does Washington put points on your license for speeding?
No — Washington has no point system at all. The Department of Licensing counts moving violations instead: rack up 6 within 12 months and you face a 60-day suspension. So the question isn't how many points a ticket carries, but whether it goes on your record as a committed moving violation.
What are my options when I get a Washington speeding ticket?
Three boxes on the ticket: pay it, request a mitigation hearing (admit but explain, maybe reduce the fine), or request a contested hearing to challenge it. Only the contested route can keep the violation off your record entirely, and it's where a lawyer adds the most value.
How do lawyers get Washington speeding tickets dismissed?
By demanding the officer's sworn statement and radar/lidar certifications, exploiting procedural defects, or negotiating an amendment to a non-moving violation with the prosecutor. We connect you with a Washington attorney who handles contested hearings in your court.
Do I have to show up for the contested hearing?
Usually not if you're represented — Washington courts routinely let attorneys appear for their clients at infraction hearings, and many hearings are held remotely.
Is a speeding infraction criminal in Washington?
No — ordinary speeding is a civil infraction, not a crime. That said, it still hits your record and your insurance, and enough of them will suspend your license, so contesting is often worth the modest cost.
