Questions about a trafic violation

[Finnster]

I think he meant he was following him w/ no police lights on. This is common, as they 1.) wait for you to make it worse, 2.) have time to run your plate to check you out.

IDK if they actually put a note in your record, but I'm sure they can see if you have been stopped before and for what, and use their descretion whether they will ticket you or not. Depends on what you are doing and if the cop feels like being an asshole.

Careful in NJ, insurance is insanely expensive and the fines are very high too. IDK who pays for your car, but it could cost you or your parents tons of money fast.

You did get pretty lucky w/ that really. Careful when driving late @ night &/or w/ no one around. You can away w/ a lot of stuff during commuting hours on major roads that cops will nail you for at other times and places. Esp around little podunk towns where they get a lot of revenue from tickets (which helps pay for cops, so they like to give them out.)
