Wash. Admin. Code § 308-104-027 - Effect of accumulation of traffic infractions

(1) The department shall send the driver a notice of suspension listing the qualifying occasions when the records of the department indicate that a person qualifies for a suspension under RCW 46.20.2892.

(2) The exclusive remedy for contesting a notice of suspension is the administrative review described in RCW 46.20.245.

(3) When a driver seeks an administrative review on the limited issue of whether information reported to the department accurately describes the action taken by the court, the department may consider as a part of that review:

(a) Whether each individual traffic infraction reported to the department accurately describes the action taken by a court;

(b) Whether multiple traffic infractions reported by a court should be counted as one occasion.

(4) When the department receives notice that a person has committed an additional traffic infraction during the period of probation, the department shall issue a notice of probation violation informing the person of a 30-day suspension as required by RCW 46.20.2892. The 30-day suspension shall run consecutively with any suspension already being served but consecutively with any other suspension or revocation a person is serving under a separate provision of law. The exclusive remedy for contesting a notice of probation violation is the administrative review procedure described in RCW 46.20.245.

(5) For the purposes of RCW 46.20.2892, a traffic infraction shall have the same meaning as RCW 46.63.020. To determine whether a traffic infraction is a moving violation, the department shall use the definition provided by WAC 308-104-160.
