Hey guys,
Let me just say I just got my license less that a month ago, 7/27 to be precise. And I was coming home late last night (had to be home before 11) and I get of the highway from Pennsylvania (rt 22 through Phillipsburg) and slow down to 35 before coming in to town (6 signs you can't miss it, you get flucked if you do) and I notice there's a cop parked in his favorite hiding spot(next to the ex- dealership) I was doing 37 so I Tapped my breaks and brought it down to 35 just to be safe, no problem so I continue merrily on my way listening to some country twang. There are about 4-5 stop lights going through town and one of them was yellow(don't remember hitting any yellow lights I remember them being all green) Any way I get spotted by a cop for running a yellow- red light. In the mean time, there's like no one on the road (cops prolly scared them all away) and I pick up some speed down the hill to make the next green light. Unbeknown to me there's a cop tailing me several car lengths behind with his lights off, and my sudden gain is speed just pisses him off and he pulls me over(needless to say I didn't make the light) I nearly shat my self cause I got shocked back to reality by seizure inducing lights and a siren that would have made a 1980's lead guitarist jealous. So he goes through his spiel, ya know the whole license and registration bit and walks off to his car....on a side note why do they need two squad cars to pull over one dude? I'm not even Mexican....... So what seems like an eternity later he come's back and give's be a lecture(not complaining about that) and verbal warning for running a red light(turned red after my car entered so he says) and doing 60 in a 45 zone I'm extremely grateful he let me off. Especially after I looked up how much it would have cost me and how many points on my record.
Any way I typed all that to ask this, The cop mentioned some thing about this being my last warning....I assume he ment last warning for this area or for him, but If I get pulled over again(hope not) will it show up I got a verbal warning and I'll get a ticket for sure?...BTW he was a hopatcong local police officer
