What does it mean if you get a warning ticket?
I was pulled over the other day for speeding and the officer gave me a warning ticket. What does a warning ticket look like? What does it mean when you get a warning ticket?

What a kind officer! Put him on your Christmas list. A warning ticket looks like a regular ticket but it will have “Warning” written on it and no court information will be listed. A warning ticket means that you did something illegal (e.g. speeding), and the officer is letting you off with a warning instead of a citation or a fine.
Here’s some information on warning tickets:
- They are not recorded on your driving record.
- They do not affect your insurance premium.
- Since you were pulled over, the officer is required to record the stop—so a warning ticket, even though it’s in writing, is nothing more than the officer’s way of saying “slow down next time.”
You got off easy! Try to do that officer proud and keep driving safely!
