Free: Contests & Raffles.
I don't know where to find it but I have been told the same thing. I guess because they are not a "flotation device" until they are inflated makes them excempt? I have found that they are very comfortable and I often forget I have it on by the end of the day. I can't say I wear one without fail but since I acquired that style I am much more prone to wearing it.
I was stopped today had everything no ticket issued. But was told that my inflatable vests do not count as a life jacket unless it is being worn (we were not wearing them had them readily accessible). Any idea where I can find this law written? I cant find anything but the Sherriff was stating this as truth. I could have asked them but sometimes questioning the authority standing in front of you only gets you a ticket. I just want to know I try to follow the rules and be safe.#bigtexRCW 79A.60.160Personal flotation devices required—Penalty.http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=79A.60.160
