Default WA speeding ticket question. 47 in a 25 in SeaTac. With an out of state license...

<center><img src="http://www.uky.edu/Police/images/TrafficTicket.jpg"></center><p>The other day I was on the way to SeaTac &amp; got a speeding ticket a few blocks away. It was for 47 in a 25 zone.

I just moved to WA &amp; still have a PA license so I assume there will be no point implications on my license, just the fine ($247)&amp; possibly insurance increase?

Should I just pay the ticket or try to fight it? Since I need to get a WA license soon, I thought maybe I should just pay it? Will they have a way to see that I got a recent WA ticket when I go to get my license? And will that mean anything?

Also, on the top of the ticket, "Traffic" or "Non-Traffic" is not marked. Is that because I have an out of state license or did he just forget to mark it?

Thanks for any help.

Default not all the time

criminal offenses require a trial... more of a citation thing. such as running a stop sign on a bike, not a traffic violation but not a criminal offense either. just a bs $120ish fine.

Especially since insurance increase will mean way more than $250
