(1) The department shall send the driver a notice of suspension listing the qualifying occasions when the records of the department indicate that a person qualifies for a suspension under RCW
46.20.2892.
(2) The exclusive remedy for contesting a notice of suspension is the administrative review described in RCW
46.20.245.
(3) When a driver seeks an administrative review on the limited issue of whether information reported to the department accurately describes the action taken by the court, the department may consider as a part of that review:
(a) Whether each individual traffic infraction reported to the department accurately describes the action taken by a court;
(b) Whether multiple traffic infractions reported by a court should be counted as one occasion.
(4) When the department receives notice that a person has committed an additional traffic infraction during the period of probation, the department shall issue a notice of probation violation informing the person of a 30-day suspension as required by RCW
46.20.2892. The 30-day suspension shall run consecutively with any suspension already being served but consecutively with any other suspension or revocation a person is serving under a separate provision of law. The exclusive remedy for contesting a notice of probation violation is the administrative review procedure described in RCW
46.20.245.
(5) For the purposes of RCW
46.20.2892, a traffic infraction shall have the same meaning as RCW

308-104-160.
