WA - 1st Speeding Ticket - HELP!!
I got a '60zone - going 75+ (82)' in StateHighway 12 Grey Harbor county
in Washington State. Its 100 miles away from where I live (Seattle). I would like to fight the ticket, but to drive 100miles to do that is discouraging. I would like to know, under the cicumstances, what are the options ? I have a clean record till now, I would like to keep it that way - I speed, I do it responsibly within limits (usually 80mph) I drive a 325 BMW, and its a pretty good handling car at higher speeds. 1) Can I admit guilt and go to traffic school ? - do I have to appear in court for that ? 2) Can I admit guilt and ask for probation(1 year with no ticket) ? - do I have to appear in court for that ? 3) Can I fight ticket remotely ? over phone ? or mail ? 4) WHEN will the ticket get into my record ? Now ? After I admit guilt ? or if I fight after the judgement ? 5) Hear this out, dont laugh --- The ticket is for $142, if I send $150 and when the court sends back $8, I dont cash it. I heard the court books must be balanced before ticket goes into my record ? So with $8 pending they hold off.? 6) Another sneaky one, My Insurance company has my old driver licence from CA (expired 1 month back). I switched it to WA last month. But they donno it yet. Should I just play mum, as the ticket is given for WA lic#. Yeah, eventually they will come to know or ask for updated one - this just extends the inevitable... already a week has passed, and I need to make a descision - please give some suggestions... thanks!! |
