Car Insurance Renton Washington WA

Reader’s Question:

I got a speeding ticket in AZ, but I’m from Renton Washington state. I was just wondering if this speeding ticket will go on my driving record in WA and if my insurance carrier will know.

The WA DOL site states that, they keep a driving record of speeding violation, convictions for car violations and notices for failure to respond or appear to traffic violation on every motorist in the state. This information that goes on your driving history is acquired by licensing agencies or by the clerk of the courts so it would appear that the out of state information reported to the DOL would also be put on your Washington driving record. Verify with the DOL to be sure though.

If the Arizona speeding ticket is put on your Washington driving record then your insurance carrier could see it the next time they pull up your motor vehicle record (MVR). To check if or by how much this speeding violation could affect your car insurance premium rates in Renton WA you would have to verify with your insurance carrier regarding their rating system.
