    Hello Again,

    QUESTION - How can i Remove - two tickets - i just got from 2 separate DOT cops
    in the State of Washington -- 1 was no seatbelt on -- 2. no chains in the trucks
    ( Nov 1 you are required to have chains in the truck ) so they had 10 DOT cars stopping trucks on 90

    * As I do not have any tickets other than these two I would like to clean these up.

    QUESTION - How Can I Remove these tickets - I know i will Pay for them, but i want to remove them from record.

    yes, they are bull**** tickets I get that, but how to remove them is the question ??

    ** Is there a Lawyer Group anyone can suggest -- for Washington State ?

    Thanks in Advance

    Once you pay the fine, it's on your record as a conviction. However, should not be a moving violation. Why are you driving with no seatbelt on and don't have chains on board ? Aren't signs posted on the highway telling you "must carry chains Nov 1st" ?

    The seatbelt will be a problem with most carriers……… I’d fight that for sure

    Wouldn't worry about the chain ticket.

    Seat belt is more serious.

    Both of these citations are probably valid.
    Plenty of signs, not to mention federal regulations about seat belts. So if you weren’t using it, then you deserve that citation.

    Again, plenty of signs regarding the regulations concerning having traction devices/ chains on the truck. You should have had the required equipment.

    Bottom line is you’re probably not going to get them removed. Neither is a moving violation. But the seat belt one is a killer.

    Funny, isn't it, how a regulation that affects only you is somehow more serious than one that affects everyone else on the road?

    But it doesn’t only affect you.
    It could be a passenger of yours or somebody you hit because you flew off your seat and were no longer able to control your vehicle.
