Here's what I would do: Call the Clerk of the Court listed on your ticket. See if you can get a deferral for "neg-2". A deferral means that you will pay an "administrative fee" -- usually around $150. Then, if you don't get any more tickets for the next year, this one is dismissed -- doesn't go on your record, doesn't affect insurance rates. Some jurisdictions, however, will NOT grant a deferral for neg-2, some will. If the court allows it, and it's something you wish to do, you can then chose EITHER contested or mitigation and ask for the deferral at your hearing.
If you CAN get a deferral, you may wish to go that way, since, the only other option for "getting out of it" is to contest and prevail.
If you wish to contest it, you MUST return your ticket requesting a contested hearing. At that time you will receive a hearing notice. You can then file a Discovery Request. I have posted an adaptable form which you can use. Just click "Free User". Then click the "Download" button, when it appears -- sometimes you have try a few times. Follow the instructions included.
When you receive your discovery materials, you will see the evidence against you -- the officer's sworn statement. You may have a possible technical defense, as well. You were cited for a violation of RCW 46.61.525.2, which states:
Quoting RCW 46.61.525
I would argue that paragraph (2) "creates no citable traffic offense". (See STATE v. MacRAE, 101 Wn.2d 63, 676 P.2d 463 (1984).) Even if the judge allows the citation to be amended to paragraph (1), it will still be up to the prosecution, using the officer's sworn statement, to prove that you were operating "a motor vehicle in a manner that is both negligent and endangers or is likely to endanger any person or property." In other words, just saying you were going 95 in a 60 zone is NOT sufficient. But, that's the reason you need to submit a discovery request so that you KNOW what the officer wrote.
Anyway, I hope this helps you understand some of your options.
Good luck,
Barry
