Q: warning for offense 39:4-32 pedestrian crossing roadway signals
if you receive a warning in new jersey for failing to stop for a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk will that increase your auto insurance rates. Not a ticket but a warning. I have a camera in my car and the video shows nothing except a cop waving to turn left. Can I contest this ?
A: A ticket filed in the municipal court is required before direct and collateral consequences become an issue. If a police officer gives only a warning, then the court, motor vehicle commission, and insurance company should not find out about the encounter.
A: I doubt that your insurance company will find out about a warning, warnings are generally considered gifts from a cop for you to be more careful.
