Washington safety rules

Impairment and distraction both change a driving decision.

Study these rules with the same care as signals and right of way: read the current law, notice definitions and exceptions, and do not rely on an old summary.

What to notice while studying

  1. Separate a statutory definition from an exception or a penalty provision.
  2. Keep conditions such as location, vehicle status, and permitted emergency use together.
  3. Choose the safer option whenever a real situation requires a driving decision.

Check the current RCW

Washington's impairment and personal-electronic-device provisions are published in Chapter 46.61 RCW. Use the official text for current definitions, scope, and exceptions.
