warning ticket

Was their an inspection report made? If the warning came on an inspection report then yes it effects both your PSP and the carrier's CSA numbers.

Good question and it's about time drivers started looking @ these things and knowing the differences.

There are basically three kinds of citations (tickets) issued for moving violations.
1) Standard traffic ticket. Will mean you pay a fine and it goes on you driving record unless you successfully fight it.

2) Warning traffic ticket. Means just that it is a warning. It means you have been given written notice to remove your head from your back side and drive properly. There is no penalty other than the hassle of being stopped and the waste of time.

3) Fix it traffic ticket. Not really issued for a moving violation, but often times will be issued if the cop decides to not write you for a moving violation but wants you to get something fixed on your car. These can be taken care of by getting the problem fixed and having either the mechanic or a LEO, depending on your jurisdiction's rules and regs sign the ticket off.

These are your standard traffic tickets and may or may NOT be related to DOT rules and regs.

In the case of the OP, I take it to mean that it is just what he said, a "warning." Sort of a pass on this violation and don't do it again type thing. There are two reasons for a cop doing this. First and foremost, it shows his supervisors that he is actually doing something besides drinking coffee and eating donuts. Second, it is giving the motorist a wake up call to change his driving behavior, but without the stiff penalty.

 

As part of an inspection...Yup it will effect your CSA score.

Word to the wise. Watch the wording of citations/warnings that are issued during an inspection.

My "violation" (3 points), is listed as a violation of "local" ordinance. No ticket issued.

It would have netted ZERO points had they listed the actual violation for what it was.

 

CSA points are really tough because they are assigned when the ticket is written . A traffic ticket isn't assigned points unless there is a conviction and often the charge can be dismissed or reduced .
I've heard of a few rare cases where CSA charges were fought and reversed but it took a major battle .

 

Now THAT is just plain bull schidt! You aren't convicted of anything, and yet they assess points against you? If you are right Rick, (and I have no reason to doubt you,) this just makes my blood boil!

 

Well its true. After the ticket you have to hire a lawyer to fight that, then you have to hire a lawyer to fight the Csa 2010 BS. gee double jepardy at the least, and try to find a lawyer to sue the fmcsa,lol. But tell one your neighbor spilled hot coffee on you and he is off to the court house!
