Got A Traffic Ticket? Just Take Care Of It Already

Here's some interesting trivia for you; about 25% of traffic tickets per year in Washington State end up in collections! That means 1/4 of us aren't paying, or taking care of, our tickets. You may want to amend that behavior, because there are a LOT of hoops to jump through to get your license back if you lose it due to unpaid tickets, as detailed in this Spokesman-Review article.

Losing your license due to a traffic ticket is one of the worst things that could happen to a driver. I mean, my car is my life, I can't do anything without it. I hope that will not happen to me, ever!

I agree that taking care of your traffic ticket ASAP is the best thing to do. Although it can be bothersome, they're just doing their job, right? And if you don't want to get a ticket, parking your car at the right place is the best solution.
