Can I get my license suspended in a non-mandatory traffic court appearance?

In Whatcom County the Judge may offer deferred findings if warranted. If you think you can drive within the law for the next few years you can roll the dice double or nothing with a buy in price of the ticket. If you get another your deferred will change to commited and you will have used your allotment up for a few years.

Good Luck and drive safely

An attorney familiar with the policies and procedures of the court will know the likelihood of negotiating such a resolution given the circumstances of your case.

Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
