You may have a possible technical defense, as well. You were cited for a violation of
RCW 46.61.525.2, which states:
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."
