    Default Speeding Ticket in King County, Washington

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: WASHINGTON

    I received a ticket while I was taking a friend to the Hospital in Kirkland, WA.
    I am choosing to contest the hearing. I requested discovery and was able to obtain a copy of the officer’s sworn statement which does not mention that I told the officer I was on my way to the closest emergency room. It does however mention that I told him I recently had new tires put on my truck which may be affecting my speed. I don’t understand why he would make note of my tires but not mention that I was going to the hospital...

    Does an officer have to list on the back of the ticket that I was in route to the ER? Can I/should I still bring this to the judges attention?

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    No he doesn't have to list that but, yes, bring anything you can bring to your hearing. However, unless it was a true emergency situation, it's likely to fall on deaf ears. You even might be asked why you didn't contact emergency personnel to assist (EMS, police/fire department, calling 911, etc).
