    Vehicle Impounded After a Negligent Driving Arrest
    My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: Wasington.

    I was pulled over for going 74 in a 60. No speeding ticket. Officer suspected dui. I refused field breathalyzer and was handcuffed, read my rights and brought back to the station. My car was impounded. I blew .05 (.081 limit) and was then given a Negligent driving 1st degree citation.

    I had the tow company fill out a department of licensing form titled "registered tow truck operator impounded vehicle hearing request" Pursuant to RCW 46.55 and WAC 308-61.

    However, I found out there is a $83 filing fee for submitting this forum. The tow bill was ~$250.

    I would like to know if it is worth pursuing this to try to contest the validity of the impound, given these circumstances.
    I had my arraignment for the Negligent driving 1st degree charges today and don't have pre trial hearing or trial of another 2 months.

    Thank you

    You could start by telling us why you believe the impound was improper.
