Warning Tickets Explained! – CDL Legal
Note: 4) Can I fight a Warning Ticket?
A: No. Since the Warning Ticket does not go to court, there is no way to fight to get it reduced or dismissed. This is only a problem when a Warning Ticket is written with a matching Inspection Report.

I think you’re in the clear. You made a note with your Company. Noted that you almost got a moving violation. Local Cop, no DOT inspection. Warning? What warning? At least they were fair about it, instead of using it as a revenue source.
Oxbow, xzmpt and prostartom Thank this. -
Where did you get off of I-95, at the Perryville exit?

No you don't need to report it. As a retired local 28 year local.PD officer our warnings just went in our local database and nowhere else...if that.. Most local officers don't fool with DOT things. I wouldn't worry about it at all..

I was thinking maybe he was coming from Baltimore and got off 95 in Harford County to avoid the scale on 95 and used Route 7 as a short cut to get to Route 40 then it would make more sense. -
You made a mistake. Drivers go down illegal roads all the time. If you had tore up some stuff that would have been a different story. You need to invest in an up-to-date trucker atlas. The GPS isn't always going to steer you right. In the atlas, you can look up roads to see what are truck accessible roads and what aren't. That's part of going the extra mile in trip planning. I don't use a GPS out here on the road because I think it's too distracting. Also, be sure to call ahead if necessary. Many places have a direction or someone who is local and don't mind telling you how to get there. It's better to use Google maps, set to satellite mode, and explore a bit before driving. That'll help you tremendously.

If a $20 Motor Carrier Road Atlas saves you from 1 ticket it has paid for it self. I understand most newbies see that recommendation & hear do something impossible before looking at their phone again.
gentleroger and xzmpt Thank this.
