1st time pulled over - quick ?

I have no idea where you live, but I think in most locales you're not going to have anything reported to insurance.

 

I *think* the way it works here is that if there is no other charges of the same type in a certain time period than nothing comes of it. If he actually gave you a warning ticket, meaning he actually filled out something and gave you a copy, then the details should be on it somewhere. I was given a warning ticket for parking in a fire lane. It had the details on the ticket. According to state law where I parked was not a fire lane but since it was a warning and would not become anything I let it go.

 

Back in the day when I had a 928 I got stopped for going 72mph on a 25 mph offramp. The cop asked if I knew how fast I was going and I said I was not sure and I asked how he clocked me. He said on his radar gun. I told him that was impossible because doppler radar can not pick up curvilinear motion. He gave me a stupid look and asked how I knew that. I told him I was an engineer and had textbooks in the back seat. He let me go with just a warning. Good BS but my curvilinear motion explaination is just that. BS. It worked though.

 

It's all about communication...

"umm... sorry officer you have the wrong guys. We are driving 360's not 350's...(dramatic pause) you must be looking for a couple of Nissans..."

PD

 

BTW--

Most states, the on/offramp speed is just an "advised" speed. The speedlimit is that of the road you are traveling on.
i.e. getting on the freeway, once you cross the cross walk or any other line desginating the freeways begining, you are now leagly able to do 65, but if the signs says 30 around the hairpin, the cop can right that as the advised speed and posted would be 65. Lil thing learned on a CHP ride-a-long.

 

I got stopped once for driving irratically (WTF is that). I assume it meant that I was driving fast ocassionally and he was following me. Well yep that was true I was giving her a blast away from the lights and around corners and then backing off before it got too exciting ...

Anyway I was very polite and simply said that I was going home to my girl friend and we were in the middle of an argument ...

You could see the sympathy or 'been there done that' in the cops eyes and he let me off with a warning and 'good luck'

Used to get pulled over quite a bit when i was younger. It was always the same thing. Cop would turn on the lights walk up to the car and then look at my DL and tell me to get the hell out of there (dad usually was there seargent)

 

I got a fine for 25 in a 15. Sounds to me like some typical jagoff cop had a hard-on for nailing a sportscar that day!

His sister probably intimidated him that morning by threatening to beat him again in an arm wrestle!

If he wrote you a warning it does not get reported and will not show up on your motor vehicle report. It sounds like he has a favorite spot and uses the speed trap just to stop and check for other violations like DUI.

If you had mouthed off you can bet you would have received a speeding ticket rather than just a warning.

 

You are fine. A warning, when I was on the force, was just that. And was not recorded anywhere. In fact, I had a little file I kept and I would toss them every month into the trash.
