Seattle DUI attorneys and Bellevue DUI attorneys alike may soon need to start advising folks of another consequence for being convicted of DUI in Washington State. Legislation has been introduced by Rep. Norma Smith, Republican, Clinton, that if passed would require Washington State drivers who are convicted of driving under the influence to have a special license plate designated with a “Z” on their car; a person convicted of DUI would only be permitted to drive a vehicle with a “Z” designated on his license plate. The “Z” would appear as the last symbol at the end of any sequence of license plate letters and/or numbers, and would cost an additional $100 above and beyond any normal license plate costs. The special “Z” plate would be valid for a period of three years, and would not only be required by motorists but also motorcyclists (for an additional fee of $25, not $100).
