Ticket Terminology can be confusing. We are going to try to clear them up for you.
Traffic and Non Traffic Citations
A TrafficTicket is related to a vehicle.
This might include Speeding, Fail to Obey Traffic Control Device, Fail to Renew Registration, Safety belt and more.
A Non Traffic Ticket that does not involve a vehicle.
This might include Jaywalking, noise violations, or other items.
Ticket Terminology Traffic Tickets? Let us talk about Moving Violation and Non Moving violation.
Moving Violations affect your record and can cause your insurance rates to go up.
How Can You Tell If it is Non Moving or Moving?
There is a list of moving violations and non moving violations on the Washington Administrative Code, also known as the WAC.
WAC 308.104.160 has this list.
This list is not exhaustive and some non moving violations can affect your record.
Moving Violations
According to WAC 308-104-160 the term “moving violation” means any violation of vehicle laws listed in this section that is committed by the driver of a vehicle, while the vehicle is moving.
Non Moving Violations
Non-moving violation include Parking violations, equipment violations or paperwork violations relating to insurance, registration, licensing and inspection.
How do these affect your record?
There are different consequences to you and your record for each violation.
There are several factors to consider when addressing a ticket, do you:
Have a Commercial Drivers License?
Drive for work?
Have an Intermediate License?
What is the specific charge (reason for the ticket)?
A Moving Violation that is reported to the Department of License will appear on your Driving Abstract for 3 years. It may affect your insurance rates and possibly your work.
A Non Moving Violation may be reported to the Department of License. The consequences for a non moving violation are less than for a moving violation and may not affect your car insurance rates. Each insurance company and policy is different.
For example: according to RCW 46.61.688 a person violating the safety belt law will be issued a traffic infraction. If a committed finding is found for the safety belt violation it shall be reported on the driver’s abstract but shall not be available to insurance companies or employers.

My Dad is getting ready to retire. He is counting down the days. He has got a calendar on his wall. He is marking the days off. So he is going to retire in about a year. Well, he plans on it. I always tease him and say, no you are not going to know what to do when you retire. You’ll be back, but I don’t know if he will.
But the Future is Reece and I.
We are going to be doing this. He will be doing mostly Criminal Law, just kind of how it is now, and I will be doing Personal Injury.
When I was little, we would go out somewhere, even the store and someone would recognize him or say Hi to him. And he knows everybody in the community because he’s been here for so long and helped so many people.
So it is kind of humbling, I guess you might say, to be out and say “I gotta live up to this guy, this guy’s persona, and this guy’s character.”
Everybody knows him, but you know it definitely helps us out and it is nice to be able to learn from him.
If I have a question
He knows all about what I am doing every day. He has been doing it for 30 years, so. The other day I had a question, and I was stumped. Well I don’t know what to do in this situation, and so I just went upstairs, into his office, poked my head in and said this is the situation. What am I supposed to do here? What are my options? What would you do in this situation? What should I do? And things like that.
It is nice to be able to have that person that I can go to, that has been doing it for so long, that knows exactly what I am doing everyday, that I can go in and get help from. And he is so supportive. He has been supportive our whole lives.
It is not really intimidating for me to go in there and ask him. You know sometimes if you are working at a big firm with a big shot attorney, you might be intimidated to walk in and ask him things. But his door is always open, he is always there. It is nice to be able to pop in and ask a question if I need to.
He is definitely very well known and respected. Especially around the community, I mean a lot of our clients are returning clients and referrals.
Hopefully it is not really going to change much.
My dad is going to retire. But it will be Reece and I doing the same thing and helping everybody out. And hopefully, you know, if all goes well, we don’t really see much of a difference.

Negative Impacts of Defective Equipment Ticket
Some of these violations appear on your driving record and may have a negative impact that can cause an increase in your automobile insurance rates.
According the WAC 308-104-160, Parking violations, equipment violations or paperwork violations relating to insurance, registration, licensing, and inspection are considered “non-moving violations”.
It is important to realize that the safety implications of keeping your vehicle in good condition are at the foundation of these tickets. Visibility, proper traction, or effective brakes can make a significant difference for you, your passengers and those around you.

All adults are required by Washington State law to wear a safety belt while operating a motor vehicle.
Every person over the age of 16 (who is either a driver or a passenger) in a vehicle is required by law to wear a safety belt in a properly secured manner.
The driver is required to ensure that all passengers under the age of 16 are wearing a seat belt or are securely fastened in an approved child safety restraint.
There can be a written verification from a licensed physician that states that the operator or passenger is unable to use a safety belt for medical or physical reasons.
You could be issued a traffic infraction, if you violate the seat belt law of Washington State. This infraction will appear on your driving record if you are found guilty. However according to RCW 46.61.688 the traffic infraction is not available to insurance companies or employers.
Safety Belt Child Restraints
A child under 2 years of age must be secured in a rear-facing restraint until the child reaches the height or weight limit of the restraint system as set by the manufacturer.
A child who is under 4 years of age must be secured in a forward-facing restraint until the child reaches the height or weight limit of the restraint system as set by the manufacturer.
A child that is less than 4 feet 9 inches tall is required to be properly restrained in a child restraint system and it must comply with standards of the United States department of transportation and must be properly installed in the automobile according to the restraint instructions and the automobile automobile manufacturer.
A child who is under the age of 13 must ride in the back seat positions of an automobile when back seat positions are available.
Law Enforcement Officers visually inspect the installation of the child restraint system. The officer will confirm that it is the proper system for the child’s age and height. They will also confirm that it has been properly installed.
A driver who violates the child restraint law may be issued a traffic infraction.
According to RCW 46.61.687, if a driver that is issued a traffic infraction for violating the child restraint law provides proof within 7 days to the issuing jurisdiction that an approved child restraint system has been acquired and if the driver has not had previous child restraint dismissal, the issuing jurisdiction may dismiss the notice of traffic infraction.

Although those words are such good news for skiers…they are not always the best news for drivers. Don’t worry we have got you covered with some tips to make your trip with less slip sliding away.
On the Skids
If you should wake up to a winter wonderland here are some of the things that you should know.
Prepare your Rig
With emergency supplies, warm blanket, water, snacks, some traction sand, a full tank of gas, a charger for your phone, etc. You can find more extensive lists from the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Traction is the name of the game
Without proper traction we lose control. So a set of tire chains, traction tires, or tire socks if your vehicle has low clearance. Check here for specific details on traction noticesfrom the Department of Transportation.
Be Sure To
Leave early, so that you do not need to rush.
Leave a larger following distance
Give your brakes a break…Slamming on your brakes can cause you to lose what little traction your car has in snow and ice. Instead try to anticipate times when you will need to stop and begin to slow down early, downshift gently, apply the brake with a feather like approach.
Do not pull out in front of oncoming traffic as they may not be able to stop.
Check for Road Closures
You will want check to see if there are any Road Closures in place. While they try to keep closures up to date there may be emergency closures.
When in Doubt Stay Put
If for some reason you feel that the road conditions are simply too dangerous, stay safe and sound where you are.

It is a really good time to take a minute to check your vehicle…
To ensure that it is prepared for winter driving. Perhaps this is something you tackle yourself, or maybe you have a skilled person do this for you.
Some of the things you will want to have looked into include: Proper tire pressure and condition, your engine oil levels, coolant level and proper concentrations. The condition of the battery and confirm that your Emergency Kit is well stocked.
Now is also good time to add important websites to your smart-phone…
Snohomish County Road Closure, Emergency Weather notifications, School Closures lists and the PUD Outage report numbers.
Take a look around your yard…
For items to store including your summer furniture and yard toys, or things in need of repair.
These steps can help insure that you are better prepared…
To take full advantage of Local Harvest time events including: Corn Maze, train rides, fall hikes, festivals, and more.
Here are a few websites where you can find more things to do:
We are likely to remember November’s storm for a long time with the intense wind and rain. Causing so much devastation and loss for our region in the form of road closures, power outages, and damage from fallen trees. Yet at the same time it was a time to see the great heroes among us.
Let there be light…
A special thank you goes out to all the PUD and Linemen who were out there around the clock to restore our power and reopen our roads. I was so thankful to see the power return to individuals all across the county. Thank you seems, at times, like a small thing to say for all those who make a real difference.
Lights, Sirens, Action…
We share the road with heroes. They walk, drive and work among us. Putting our needs ahead of their own. Thank you to all of the first responders who are constantly on call to help at a moments’ notice, Dispatch, Firemen, Police, Sheriff, State Patrol, Ambulance, EMT’s, Nurses, Doctors, the list goes on.
Right, Left, Right Left…
With that in mind be sure to yield to Emergency Vehicles. If they are traveling in route to respond to an emergency move to the right and let them pass you and hurry onto the emergency. Do this for them…Do this for you. You can get some serious tickets for not yielding to the right.
If they have reached their destination and are stopped along the right side of the road, be sure to slow down and change lanes to allow them to conduct their business without concern for their own safety.
Emergency zones are defined as the adjacent lanes of the roadway 200 feet before and after a stationary emergency vehicle with a siren or flashing lights, tow truck using red lights, emergency assistance vehicle using warning lights, or police vehicle using emergency lights.
Do Not Cross…
The road closed signs are for our safety. During the most recent storm I encountered two different types of signs along my travels.
The penalty for crossing a Road Closed with the County Sheriff symbol is a misdemeanor, a Criminal offense, for those who drive around the sign.
The Road Closed to Thru Traffic is a warning to drivers that the normal route is obstructed. So be sure to treat the roadway with caution, as you do not know when or where there is an obstruction.
Speaking of obstructions it is not safe to drive over downed power lines. Treat all power lines as if they are live with electricity. While we like to get a charge out of life, the voltage contained in downed power lines is not the type to toy with.
And the Waters Came Up…
Do not drive into flooded roadways. Water over the roadway is a sneaky thing, as it disguises the obstacles below the surface. It only takes 6 inches of water to get you into a dangerous situation, by floating your car, removing traction, or by hidden obstacles or road damage. That does not even begin to cover the possible damage to your vehicle.
Use Good Sense…Look, Listen, Live
During the storm watch closely for falling trees and branches. Be aware that fallen branches may have sharp edges that can be a danger to your tires.
It may be wise to drive with your windows rolled down just a little, to allow you to listen to what is happening around you.
Be aware of the changing smells around you. Burning trees, leaking gas lines, etc.
Blown Away
Next time the Storms come in we hope that you will be better prepared and ready to rise to the challenge.

The weather change is always a good time to take stock and prepare for what if…
Having been stranded a time or two, I know how important it is to keep emergency supplies in the vehicle. A flashlight, a flare or a blinking light, a tool kit, rain gear, blanket, snacks, and water can go a long way to making a difficult situation so much better.
Flat Tire, Need an Iron…
Speaking from experience, it is wise to check that your tire iron is the correct size for all of the lug nuts on your vehicle. Occasionally they are not all the same size.
Scout It Out…
Don’t be overwhelmed by extensive lists. You may already have items in your home that can be used to create an emergency kit in your home and in your vehicle. As time goes by continue to add different pieces to your collection. Assemble as much as you can in a storage tub or tote bag that is easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
Here are some basic supplies that would help you get through an outage lasting three to five days:
Three- to five-day supply of non-perishable food that needs little or no cooking Blankets and pillows Portable, battery-powered radio and clock Flashlights Extra batteries Manual can opener, bottle opener, and utility knife First-aid kit Bottled water (minimum two quarts per person per day but preferably one gallon per person per day) Candles Matches in a waterproof container or a lighter Cooler (and keep ice or ice packs ready in your freezer) Personal hygiene, sanitary supplies Cash (ATM’s and banks may not be available) Pet supplies for three to five days Playing cards, games, and books for entertainment Prescription medications Phone charger for a car
Out in the Cold…
For your safety keep the barbecue and the generators outside. In the event of an outage, dress in layers to keep warm, gather in a central room in your home to conserve heat and resources. Keep the doors closed to the fridge to keep the temperature cool inside.
Don’t Forget the Fun….
We keep a supply of glow sticks, battery operated games, board games, books, arts and crafts to create by lantern light. A metal teapot to boil water for hot Cocoa and Marshmallows for roasting on the grill.
Battery- Extreme temperatures are hard on the battery system. So if your battery is up there in years, it might be a good opportunity to have it replaced, before the added heat stress causes it to fail to give your car the charge it needs.
Fluids- Are so important for maintaining your vehicle in a safe manner
Coolant- Your cars radiator is critical to the correct operating temperature of your engine. Refer to your owners manual for instructions. Do NOT open the cap of the radiator when the engine is hot.
Oil- Check your oil level as your engine must have the proper level of oil to keep each moving part humming right along.
Brakes- Pay attention as you brake to see if they are letting out unusual noises or if they have developed any shakes or surges that are out of the ordinary.
Windshield- Keep the glass clean to reduce reflections that could interfere with your driving. Windshield washers may not be very effective in removing some of the build up, so be prepared to pull over and wash the surface if needed.
Tire Pressure- When the rubber meets the road you may find that the heat changes your tires air pressure. If your tires are under inflated, they will be more prone to have a blow out… and those are no fun.
Tire Tread Condition can cause your traction to respond very differently when the asphalt is hot, some times the surface of the road becomes softer in this type of weather.
Air Circulation- Is critical for both you and your engine. Be sure to keep an eye on the engine temperature gauge on your dash. If it is rising to high you may need to pull over and turn off your car to allow your engine to cool. Another option is to draw heat out of engine compartment by turning on your interior heater.
Air Conditioner- Is most effective in cooling the passenger compartment when you have it set to recirculate the previously cooled air. Some times the Air Conditioner can put a big draw on the temperature of the Transmission when you are driving at higher altitudes.
Emergency Car Kit
Jumper cables
Extra Fluids for the vehicle.
Flares or caution cones.
People Care
No one left behind- people or pets as the temperature inside a vehicle can rise very quickly.
Water for all the living beings. Be sure to stay well hydrated.
Snacks are best if they are not heat sensitive.
Shade/ sun screen for when you are not in your vehicle.
Phone and charger.
Weird Tips
Alcohol based Sanitizer- Many of us are carrying a container in our vehicle. It may be wise to be sure that it is not in a place that is exposed to direct heat… as it can be flammable.
Clear Water bottles can act like a magnifying glass and should be kept out of direct sunlight to reduce flammable any properties.
Don’t Get Burned-by the asphalt, concrete or sand surfaces as you exit your vehicle, they retain heat even after they are shaded.
Wear your shades, take a break and rest often to stay at your most alert status for driving.
