Traffic "Warning" tickets
Ok ok, ya, I just got a warning ticket for doing "dougnuts" in a parking lot. Not that I actually did a doughnut, I just fishtailed a bit to see how the AWD in my new Subaru handles under such circumstances. As far as I'm concerned, it's important to know how to control your car when things go sour on the road. Much better to get a feel for your vehicles limits in a safe area with no other vehicles around... Unfortunately, the cop didn't agree. I'm just curious if anyone knows how I can find out if a warning shows up on your driving record in Ohio. Has anyone ever had one affect their insurance rates? I had one years ago in Indiana and never heard from it again. I've never had a ticket before though and am a very safe driver on the road.
As a side rant, I find the Ohio concealed carry laws to be really shitty because I'm a law abiding citizen who is statistically less likely than the average joe to shoot at a cop, but once the cop pulled my license info and realized I have a CCWP, he was practically hiding behind me when talking to me so I wouldn't shoot him through the door. In most states, you don't tell the cop you carry unless they ask to search you, keeps the cops from being stressed unduly. They should take the same precautions with a CCWP holder that they take with every citizen, not freek out because they know you have the legal right to carry...
