What a speeding ticket costs in Washington
| Typical fine | Roughly $105–$423+, set by the statewide penalty schedule and rising with speed |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — Washington counts moving violations instead |
| Insurance impact | A committed infraction stays visible on your Washington driving record and typically surcharges premiums for three years. |
| License risk | Each committed moving violation counts toward the DOL's 6-in-12-months suspension trigger. |
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
Usually not if you're represented — Washington courts routinely let attorneys appear for their clients at infraction hearings, and many hearings are held remotely.
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.
