Speeding warning without inspection
Posted by SadPhDStudent17@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 6 comments
If you get a speeding warning by highway patrol without an inspection, does it appear anywhere? And do you have to tell your carrier? The officer said it won't go anywhere but their system and my reddit searches aren't helpful. There was a short stretch of the interstate with reduced speed and I was going my normal 64mph in a 55mph zone.
Tldr: Would you report to your carrier a speeding warning if there wasn't an inspection accompanying it? And does it go anywhere outside the local citing officers system?

It won't) shouldn't appear in any database you have access to. But police officers will be able to see it. And maybe the insurance carriers (both company and your personal auto insurance).

This isn’t necessarily true either. I was a cop for over ten years. Giving a warning didn’t follow you around. Yes, there’s a computer generated record that your license plate was stopped and your drivers license ran, but rarely do cops put any notes in that call unless they write a ticket, or think they’re going to get complaints. And that computer record would need to be searched specifically by your DL or plate number to even find it and even then only with the agencies that use the same dispatch center and CAD program.
If I pulled you over in my county, a cop from another county isn’t going to be able to “look it up.” And even then, at least our CAD system would drop CAD calls after a year, meaning that “record” wouldn’t exist beyond that.

I’ve had my insurance company show me they can see warnings in their system. I got a warning in Virginia and my insurance agent in Montana was able to tell me about it. So somehow the systems are connected.

If it’s a written warning, yes, some do track those, verbal, no.

From my research it’s not supposed to show up anywhere. However there are mixed reports of it showing up and not showing up unless it was during an inspection the only way to know for sure is to wait 30 days and run your mvr and psp

That's what I found as well. I may play stupid for 30 days.
