Alizais, thank you for posting a GENERAL question to clarify a matter in the Procedural Guide. Yes, you are correct with both of your assumptions. Be sure to start your own thread if you want to...

There seem to be TWO separate issues here. The first is the accident itself. That will probably be handled by your insurance company. Second is whether you were issued a traffic citation. If so,...

That comment just shows how LITTLE you know about WA law. The cop will NOT be waiting to do anything -- there will NOT be a cop present. WA is NOT the same as PA. Jojo's arguments may not fly, but...

First -- what do you mean your name is not FlyingRon? I'm crushed.

Second -- yep, I agree -- people who use their real names on the internet are really stupid.

Barry

Why are you speaking to me like this? I have been nothing but respectful to you over the years -- at least until now.

Barry

She seemed to be saying that jojo shouldn't be giving advice (blind leading the blind), nor should jojo even aspire to having a conversation about a WA traffic law issue with a "real" attorney --...

WA is NOT a no-fault state. If you want verification, just call your insurance agent and ask.

Barry

Let me understand, are you talking about jojo because you know him/her personally, and you know they should not be giving advice? Or are you saying that someone like me -- and I am NOT a lawyer --...

I'm assuming you're talking about Neeley-O'Brien. The problem with your story is that there is a "warning" sign before you ever get to the school zone sign. Google Maps even shows it pretty...

OK -- I'm done with you. Granted, I was so pissed at MoMoney for convincing you of his argument that I couldn't think straight -- at least not with the time I had. So, I just spewed venom. That...

An "error of law" is exactly what it sounds like. For example, IRLJ 2.2 (d) states that an NOI must be filed within 5 working days -- absent good cause shown. Well, suppose you go into your hearing...

Absolutely -- call the Clerk of the Court and ask about the process. In my day (10 years ago), I filled out a form, paid the $40, and they sent me a CD. I think it's all online now and may not even...

$300, plus the cost of transcription (about $20 per page -- double spaced, huge margins -- plan on another few hundred, unless you do it yourself). The appeal process from Courts of Limited...

Are you freakin' serious? You got a deferral 8 months ago? When you started this thread, you said:



You MIGHT have mentioned the deferral from 5 months earlier (and explained how you got that...

You need to understand the appeal process in WA. Your appeal would be to the Grays Harbor County Superior Court. It is NOT a de novo retrial. It is an appeal "on the record". You will NOT...

Seriously, Dude, you came here 54 posts ago asking for help. Now you think you're an expert? If you're going to express an "opinion", at least say that it's only YOUR opinion. Don't come across...

Ya know -- you're absolutely correct. I made a mistake. I did not thoroughly research the subject before I posted. So, let's see you jump all over Mr/Ms. Unknowledgeable the next time he/she makes...

You're right -- he/she is MUCH more helpful, far more knowledgeable, and just an all around better person than I am, so I can see why you ALWAYS take his/her side. I think I'll just start...

I don't understand your question. When else would you present your defense, except during the hearing?

- - - Updated - - -

Oh, I see -- when during the hearing? When the judge asks if you...

"Federal Anti Masking Regs" -- you mean laws against wearing MASKS? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Another irrelevant post from Mr. Unknowledgeable. Gotta keep up the 30...

About the only argument I can see involves the last sentence. Unfortunately, it also involves the Rules of Evidence, which means that, in order to make this argument, you MUST go to the hearing --...

It might, but you seem to have posted two "page 3" documents and NO "page 2". We need to see the "sworn statement" or "affidavit".

Here is a Google Maps shot of the intersection as you approached. Notice, that there is NO CROSSWALK -- contrary to the officer's description.

Here are the various points concerning the officer's...

So Cal, I appreciate your comments, however misguided they are. First let me try to show how your "unrelated [but] similar example" is not applicable:



I assume you are referring to the Fourth...

Congratulations! Good job! Way to follow up with the IRLJ 3.1 (b) reference.

Thanks for letting us know -- many people don't bother....
