Thank you for asking Markus.
Washington State mandatory insurance law, listed in Title 46 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), states that motorist must carry with them an insurance identification card showing proof that you have a valid vehicle insurance policy. The current mandatory limits for WA are 25/50/10.
These numbers stand for:
$25,000 total for bodily injury per person,
$50,000 total for bodily injury coverage per accident and
$10,000 total for property damage per accident.
If you are found driving a motor vehicle without having proof of insurance or of the mandatory insurance law you are committing an infraction. This violation of the law is punishable by a minimum fine of $250. There may be other fees that can be added to this fine.To get more information of the exact amount of your fine you may contact the court on the ticket.
A ticket for driving without insurance is like any other moving violation and will become part of your WA driving record.
To make sure you have at least the Washington state minimum auto insurance coverages so to avoid penalties, you may contact your insurance company.
Goodluck!
