📖 Topic overview
This chapter covers what you need to know about your vehicle: title and registration, license plates, required liability insurance, and getting familiar with your vehicle's controls, safety technology, and maintenance needs like tires, lights, and glass.
Expect questions on the minimum liability insurance amounts ($25,000 for one person's injury or death, $50,000 for two or more, $10,000 for property damage), when headlights are legally required (half hour after sunset to half hour before sunrise), and the three steering methods — hand-to-hand, hand-over-hand, and one-hand steering — along with proper braking and blind-zone awareness.
A common mistake is forgetting that daytime running lights aren't the same as headlights — they're dimmer and don't turn on your taillights, so you still need to switch on headlights when it's dark or rainy. Another is not knowing the hand signals to use if your turn or brake signals fail.
What are Washington's minimum required liability insurance amounts?
Washington requires liability insurance covering at least $25,000 for the injury or death of one person, $50,000 for the injury or death of two or more people in one collision, and $10,000 for property damage in one collision. Proof of insurance must be kept with you or in the vehicle.
When are you legally required to use your headlights in Washington?
Washington law requires headlights on from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise. Many drivers also turn them on anytime it's dark, rainy, snowy, foggy, or smoky, since headlights help other people see you, not just help you see.
What are the child car seat stages in Washington?
Children up to age 2 must ride rear-facing. Ages 2 to 4 ride in a car seat with a forward- or rear-facing harness. From about age 4 until the vehicle's seat belt fits properly (typically ages 8-12), children use a booster seat. After that, a properly fitting seat belt is required for everyone.
