    Default Negligent Driving Second Degree

    My question involves a reckless driving ticket from the State of: Washington.

    While driving North on I-5 in the two lane section just before Olympia. Speed limit is 70 mph. I was on cruse control at 70 with traffic passing me on the right as I approached a car in front of me doing approximately 65 mph. I could not get over to pass easily. I was down to 65 mph behind the slow driver waiting to go around him. When space allowed I moved over to the right and passed the slow car. Moved back over to the left lane to resume 70 mph.

    I was pulled over for "negligent driving". Bail is $550.00. The officer said this is aggressive driving. RCW 46.61.525. No speeding on the ticket.
    I live in another state so going to court for contesting will be a real problem.

    Question is; Do I have a chance getting this dismissed ?
    Can I get a deferral for my state ?


    Thanks for any advice;

    The ticket was issued because of what? The manner in which you passed posing a danger to oncoming traffic?
