WA Auto Insurance Quote
Reader’s Question:
My son received a speeding ticket in the state of Nevada, is it true that this will not go in his driving record in the state of Washington. What if you get involved in an accident and its not your fault, will it still be put in your driving record?
Sarah
Thank you for asking Sarah.
States records on a driver’s motor vehicle records (MVR) if an accident has occurred involving them, but do not assign who is at fault. Collisions involving non-commercial cars stays on the individual’s driving record for 5 years from the date of collision. Collisions that involves commercial cars remain on the record for 10 years.
The state of Washington documents accidents on your driving record to show involvement, but the WA Department of Licensing (DOL) does not determine fault for the collisions.
Regarding the speeding ticket that your son received, both NV and WA are members of the Drivers License Compact. This means that Nevada’s DMV should share the information regarding the moving violation to Washington’s DOL.
Some states that are part of this Compact do not to assess points or put the out of state infraction on the individual’s driving record, but others do.
Goodluck!

How Long Do I Have To Carry SR22 Auto Insurance in Washington
Reader’s Question:
I was convicted of moving violation and was required to carry an sr-22. Its been more than three years already? Do I still need to carry it? How do I cancel it?
Tim
Thank you for asking Tim.
It looks like you were required to carry an sr22 or proof of Financial Responsibility in Washington. The sr22 is an Insurance Certificate that you need to carry to reinstate your drivers license after a suspension because of many reasons of moving violations. From the information that you provided, it is true that in this kind of situation, one must carry an insurance for three years.
To get more information if your period for carrying the SR-22 for your driving offense is over already, you may contact the Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) that required you to get the SR-22. They will be able to tell you all the information you need in case your required time period to carry the sr22 is up already.
Goodluck!
