Washington Suspended Registration:
Unlike some other types of vehicular charges, suspended registration has a “notice” requirement. This means that a driver must have been notified of a suspension for the State to prove guilt. In many cases, the State cannot do this. If convicted, a license suspension will result. Additionally, many courts and prosecutors may inform drivers that if they plead “Nolo,” they will not receive a license suspension. This is incorrect. We cannot explain why prosecutors and judges do not understand that this is incorrect. It is best to contact an attorney who knows the law in this area.
