That's what I was thinking. I've heard rumors of cops not giving you any paper at all, but end up getting a ticket in the mail days later.
Just got pulled over, but did I or didn't I get a ticket?

Camera tickets did not go on your record.
Even when we had the bears in the air deals, they had guys on the ground to physically hand you a ticket, that you signed, and an officer to go to court if you fought it.
I have never heard of an officer stopping you then mailing you a ticket, I have seen tickets come up later after an accident site was investigated. -
I once was following my GPS after I missed the correct turn.
The road it had me turning on to had a length restriction that was not pre-posted or known by the GPS.
When I got to the right turn I knew the turn would be tight and I was waiting for traffic to clear. Before it did a cop pulled in front of my truck.
It was also rush hour.
He told me if I went that way I might have trouble with a couple tight turns on the 2 lane road, but better to try that than try to back up or make a u-turn.
He would have had to stop all traffic in a busy intersection for a u-turn.
Nothing was said about a ticket, and he did mention truckers often make that mistake.
No ticket was issued, and I was very careful on that road.
Some cops are very understanding and really try to help us out.86scotty, bzinger, Cabinover101 and 4 others Thank this. -
It seems like the no truck signs are always visable after you get turned on to the road, as often as not I have just gone on if there was not a handy place to turn around close. I have been lucky and never had a ticket for it, knock on wood.
