I didn't slow down soon enough going into a speed trap last Saturday night and got a speeding ticket. My insurance company is brutal on these and makes the cost of the ticket just a small down payment relative to the rate increase that lasts for 2 or 3 years.

I've read about this deferral thing before, and the cop mentioned that I might qualify for it. I guess it's a condition where you pay the fine, but it doesn't go on your record for the insurance company. Anybody know how this works? There is nothing on the ticket mentioning it. Do I call the county courthouse where the infraction occurred and ask them?

Any assistance appreciated.

You can typically defer a ticket once every 7 years. It's done through the county you got the ticket in.

You pay the ticket, a deferral fee, and if you go the next year without a ticket, it will stay off your record. If you get another ticket during that year, you get to pay both, and get two-holed by your insurer.

google "ticket deferral XXXX county Washington" and you should be able to find a link explaining the process.

If that is your only ticket than it is time for a new insurance company...

I got a deferral & the cost of the processing was more than the ticket would have been. Rather than pay the deferral processing I did public service for a credit of so much per hour. Did the public service @ Brownsville Marina. The marina manager said I did a good job on the heads.

For the same exact amount you can get an attorney, beat the charge and have it removed from your record. The court costs of defending against your attorney is more than the city, county or court would make off the ticket itself. You pay the fee, it is off your record and the city gets nothing for bothering you. If all defendants hired attorneys, they would bother ticketing you. They don't want you to know that and it is all about the money... You're going to pay it to someone.

Call a couple attornies that specialize in these types of infractions and see what they say. I paid $100 for the last photo infraction in Fife and it was dismissed before the court date.

you guys gave me sh!t about not wearing a seatbelt and getting a ticket, and you speed and run lights?





god damn...


you can try deferred but if you get an infraction in the 1 year they will put the screws to you depending on what it is... so be a good boy Salmo, and slow down...

Salmo G. has a job and contributes to society. You, do not.

I had a ticket deferral a few years back. Went to Thurston County court clerk office or something, asked for deferral. I paid $150 and did not get another ticket for 3 years, I think, and it did not go on my record. As far as I know, you do not pay the ticket, you pay $150 flat rate. If you get another during the period, you get to pay both and they both go on your record. Have you talked to CanyonMan for an insurance quote?

Wrong thread dumbass.

You may want to note that salmo g admits he did wrong.... if im not mistaken you were bitching how unfair your ticket was

did you seriously just say that?

lol

Why dont you post a link to the old thread....

what dont you use that nugget on your neck and think about what you just said...

i didnt bitch about the ticket, i bitched that they went straight for me, not even asking the driver (Katie) for ID, Insurance, ect... i also only had that belt off for a very small fraction of time if you remember correctly, i had to answer me phone and the belt was tight...

speeding, isnt a 1 time thing, its repetative...

so with that said, i ask you this...

whats more dangerous to the public, me not wearing a seatbelt, or someone speeding?

its that whole dont throw stones thing, and karma has a weird way of showing herself...

maybe your next, like Final Destination...

How does one get a ticket for not wearing your seatbelt when your car doesn't even run?

Always the victim...

did you seriously just ask that?

lol, Piper i paid the fine, dont trip, its all taken care of...

Now shitface (Nate) is wishing death upon people. You are a POS Nate.



Sort of like the time Nate threatened to kill himself, but didn't.

yeah thats what i said...

Hank was right, you cant read, or understand the English language, thats because you are a bumblewit, which is 1/10th of a halfwit....
