For the Washington GITS. I just came across this and thought I'd pass it on. New driving fines for the State of . These fines went into effect on November 1st, 2007 * HOV Lane - 1st time offense $1068.50 (note: the sign posted on the HOV lanes that says $271 is now wrong and DOT is in the process of changing them) -2nd offense fine is doubled -3rd is tripled -4th your license is suspended for a year! (they are not playing around!) * Incorrect Lane Change - $380.00 (not using turn signal, 'cutting' someone off, Cutting across double white line... ) * Block Intersection - $485.00 * Driving on Shoulder - $450.00 * Cell Phone Usage While Driving - $285.00 (cell phone usage (until January 1, 2008, you can use a hand held cell phone while driving, but if a police officer observes a driving infraction, he can stop you and cite you for both. After January 1, they can stop you for cell phone usage w/o any other cause.) must now be done with 'hands free' device.) Law Enforcement has been told to really start cracking down on this, as the accident rate is increasing due to cell phone use. * Cell Phone Usage in a Construction Zone - $570.00 (this fine is doubled from the regular $285.00) Seat Belt violation. Passengers over the age of 18 not in a seat belt - Both the passenger AND driver with get tickets of $101.00 DUI - Instant ARREST! (the court s are now placing DUI's on your driving record for a period of 10 years!) * Speed limit margin. Last but not least - You know that there was a thought that you could go at least 5 MPH over the posted speed limit, well according to the WA. State Patrol, you are now allowed 3 MPH over!
