    Default Strategies for Defending Against Two Pending Traffic Tickets Issued to a Minor

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington

    My daughter has received two tickets in the State of Washington. The first was a moving violation - the second was too fast for conditions. Both of these occurred in a relatively short period of time. The first violation was a clear speeding issue that we wanted to defer. The second ticket she recieved due to an accident. A woman pulled out in front of her during a rainy day in heavy traffic however she rear ended the other drivers vehicle. So she was cited for too fast for conditions. My question is should we just pay the first ticket then request a mitigation hearing and ask for a deferral on the second ticket? Thank you

    Might as well try to contest at least the first ticket, if not both. Mitigation hearing won't accomplish much - you might get a small reduction in fine, but it still goes on the record. If you want to contest, find the instructions for contesting Washington tickets on this forum. You risk nothing by trying, and success rate is pretty high. You can change your mind and do a deferral (if available) all the way up to the start of the hearing.

    And separately, sounds like she should slow down. Hopefully she will take the proper lesson from these tickets, even if she is able to get them dismissed.
