    Exclamation Inattention to Driving: Crossing the White Line

    My question involves a careless driving ticket from the State of: WASHINGTON
    Do you know what my options for inattention to driving BIMC (Bainbridge Island Municipal Court, I think) 10.18.010 are? Basically I crossed the white line because I was lost and looking at my GPS. Any help is much appreciated! Does it go on my record or should I hire a lawyer, and if so, who?

    Default Re: Inattention to Driving: Crossing the White Line

    It is my belief (and I could certainly be wrong) that the infraction WOULD go on you WA state driving record. The reason I believe this is because RCW 46.20.270 requires courts to notify the DOL of "offenses committed under this chapter, or any other act of this state or municipal ordinance adopted by a local authority regulating the operation of motor vehicles on highways...." You might be able to find out for sure from the Clerk of the Court.

    If you're eligible, a deferral will definitely keep it off your record. There's plenty of information about deferrals here. Just do a search.
