Racing in Seattle

A racing charge in Seattle is serious business, and it’s charged to drivers who willfully engage in a relative contest of speeds with any other vehicles. In essence, racing in Seattle is the same as reckless driving, as it shows a wonton disregard for fellow citizens and their property. A racing conviction will result in more than just a pit stop, so it’s a good idea to talk to Seattle criminal lawyer Jason S. Newcombe, or one of his associates, about the nature of your case so that they can prescribe a solution.

Our team of Seattle racing lawyers has over 30 years of combined experience aggressively defending clients from street racing charges and other criminal offenses. If convicted of racing in Washington State, you will be guilty of a gross misdemeanor and subject to up to a year in jail and $5,000 worth of fines. Also, your Washington driver’s license will be subject to mandatory suspension, which will force you to carry SR-22 (high risk) auto insurance. This insurance is expensive, and you will have to keep it for three years after you regain your driving privileges.

For these reasons you should talk to our Seattle racing attorneys and find out if your penalties can be mitigated. Sadly, many Seattle residents who engage in street racing are unaware how severe and life altering the penalties can be. A passing whim can turn into time in Seattle jail, loss of a job, and expenses that create a tremendous financial burden on the entire family.
