For the purposes of WAC
308-102-250(3), the department may presume that there is a reasonable possibility of a judgment being entered against a person if:
(1) The person was convicted of or forfeited bail for a traffic violation arising out of the accident, or
(2) A law enforcement officer investigating the accident completed a report which specified that a violation of a rule of the road contributed to the accident regardless of whether a citation was issued, or
(3) The person was negligent, having committed an act which a reasonably careful and prudent person would not have done under the same or similar circumstances, or failed to act in a way which a reasonably careful and prudent person would have acted under the same or similar circumstances, and such act or omission was a proximate cause of the accident.
