Defer a ticket?

whitecobrapilot · 05-13-2009, 10:08 AM #1

Got a ticket this morning leaving my neighborhood (35 in a 25 right next to the 35mph sign) - I've never gotten a ticket in Washington before, can you take defensive driving to not have it hit insurance?

Lawyer up... Fight it and get it dropped.

Deferrals are only offered because in a majority of cases they work out to the benefit of the state. Driver re-offends and then they get to hit you with both tickets and the $100 processing fee.

i got a deferred ticket once in my vw beetle (pre-porsche...haha!) and did the deferral option. i still had to pay adminstrative filing fees but the ticket was waived after a year. i was a good girl and didn't get any more tickets within that year. after all...i WAS in a vw beetle! haha! i think you can only do this once every seven years? i'm not positive. either way....knowing what i know now, i would just call jag!

Where did you get popped? I am in Bothell as well and I have seen many many more cops out in the AM than ever before.

Dont know much about deferring tickets..ask JAGS. One ticket should not effect your insurance at all..especially given its specifics- Thats almost as bad as my 30 mph in a 20 mph right next to a 25mph sign.. turns out the 1000' section of road becomes a park zone from May 1st thru Aug 31st. I've only gotten *caught* twice for speeding and I happily pay them as I speed (within reason) everyday. I figure why fight it when I know I was wrong...

I had a ticket deferred last year, couldn't find a lawyer willing to go that far south. If it's a local ticket though, you should get a lawyer. The deferment should be considered an almost last resort.

Give me a call. Not worth a Deferred IMHO - use that for a serious ticket that will really jack up your rates. I will more than likely get it dismissed and you will be dropping my name to others who tell you they got stopped

Use jag, I did for both Jody and myself. Cheap,easy and no hassles. You don't even have to go to court just send him a check. Now I have a clean diving record again. I've got jag now on speed dial.

I too have Jag on my speed dial. However, i feel like giving him my car keys. Every time i drive my car, i feel like i will get pulled over in a sec. I need a moped.

My red 350Z must have a sign saying pulled me over floating above it, I've been pulled over with my mum in Seattle, and when I was in Wenatchee driving out in a PARK! I have Jags working my Seattle ticket. I actually successfully defended myself for the ticket I received in the park, but I wouldn't suggest this as I had buckets of evidence to prove the officer wrong and the judge knew me since I've been in front of her about 3 times before.

( I knew up in Wenatchee) I plug Jags to everyone I know that's been pulled over.

Last year, about 8 pm on a Saturday, when I called and left him a message, he called me right back. Same goes with emails/PM's. He's always very prompt in getting back to you! I appreciate you Jag!! (=^.^=)
