Question:
Driving from Houston to Austin a couple of days ago, I got pulled over in Giddings for speeding 60 in a 45. I had trouble getting my cruise control off--the highway went from 65 or 70 down to 45--and the officer got me before I got all the way down.
He had marked the ticket a citation, but felt sorry for me I guess--I started crying while he was writing the ticket, I've never been pulled over and couldn't calm myself down, I wasn't trying to get out of the ticket--so he crossed out the citation and marked it a warning instead. I asked what that meant, but he just answered that it was a warning, and I didn't want to push my luck by asking what exactly a warning meant.
Well then woldn't this car burn faster in an accident?
What's worrying me is that it says "you are directed to appear at court...12 days from this date to enter a ple." Since it was a warning, do I have to go? Or is that directive only for a citation?
Truck drivers use Log-book and every body know, they lie about On-duty hours. Why they have to lie??
I plan on giving them a call on monday to check, since they're only open through the week, but I'm worried now. Help??

Typically, you do not appear in court for a warning. Maybe because it was already written out he already had the court date for the citation, in the event you were to plead not guilty. Yes, you have no choice but to call and MAKE CERTAIN you don't need to make an appearance...that's what a responsible person does. Don't forget to get the name of the person you speak with, write it down and keep it with the ticket. Hold on to it (file it) for at least 1 year, or, until you are confident there has been no miscommunication. Good luck! and don't worry, it's no big deal!Why do people sit in the middle lane!?
Do like you said and call Monday.Why are you so worried about a ticket,should you not be more concern with your cruise control sticking?Is it a law to strap down cargo on a uitility trialer in OHIO? (think lawnmowers)?
warning: just that. know you did it, may not have meant to, just don't do it again.citation: you did it, we gotchya. appear in court, actually price to be determined when you get in front of commissioner.
Why is that on the AMBULANCE, the letters are painted in REVERSE direction?
If the officer crossed out citation, and marked warning, but a date to appear was included... you should contact the court clerk to verify the status of the warning. Make sure it is a warning, you don't want the court to mistake it for a citation. A warning is just a written statement saying you were caught in violation of the law, no penalties involved. No worries.From a Houston Lawyer: He wrote the ticket which always says when to appear but he changed it to a warning and that means no court appearance. If he wrote "Warning" on the ticket then forget about it.
