Currently a secodary offence meaning if I see you speeding and talking on the phone, I can stop you for speeding and also wright you a ticket for cell phone usage. If you are on the phone and not committing a primary offense, I can not stop you just for that. Craig.

There is much frustration on these. Very simple, whoever is in the round-a-bout has the right of way. Basic right of way rules of the road apply to everyone esle waiting to join in. Craig.

Put it this way. If you are paying 100% attention at 60 mph, all brakes are working correctly and you have to stop quickly, it will take you 300 feet to stop!!! The 3 second rule is usually pretty safe on the freeway. Pick a target, ie street sign, and count 3 seconds between you and the vehicle in front of you. This will give you a "safe" distance if an emergency takes place. I don't know how the state patrol deals with the following distance on the freeway but for me, on arterials if the following vehicle is within 1 car length that is when I stop them and chat with them. Craig.

I am sure DOL would restrict them from driving. If you know of someone doing this you can contact DOL on their web site and find out what actions you can take, especially if it is a family member. Craig.

Call your local agency and we can come ticket them. Here are the regulations for you. Craig.

RCW 46.61.570

(4) It shall be unlawful for any person to reserve or attempt to reserve any portion of a highway for the purpose of stopping, standing, or parking to the exclusion of any other like person, nor shall any person be granted such right.

If you live in the city make sure and check with them. In the county as long as the bike is under 50cc's we treat it like a bicycle. However, I believe the city has a different ordinance on these so make sure to ask them before you ride on the roadway. Craig.

You should be ok, but check with your local law enforcement agency. Here in Washington as long as you don't leave it on the roadway you are ok. You however may have some type of ordinance dealing with your issue so make sure and double check. Craig.

Good question because the rules have kind of recently changed with this. We use to be able to search inside the vehicle after we arrested someone out of the vehicle. Not any more. Now there has to be a justifiable reason for us to get into the vehicle, i.e. and arrest for drug possession and we are looking for more evidence. Craig.

If you are asking if you can let a suspended driver park your car you are risking having it impounded if something were to happen.

You can contest any ticket. If you had your vehicles tabs renewed after the ticket than yes, take it to court and show the judge or commissioner that you have new tabs. It's up to them to decide what they do from there but it is worth a shot. Craig.
