Car Insurance Question  I recently got pulled over for doing 45 in a 30 in Massachusetts. The officer just gave me a warning. I was wondering how long that warning stays on my record, assuming no more warnings or tickets?

Massachusetts General Laws chapter 90C, section 3 states that for motor vehicle infractions or violations a law enforcement officer may issue a written warning or cite the violator. This section of the law does not say for how long a warning will remain on your MA driving record.

Check with the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles to see how long this warning for speeding will stay with you. It does appear the written warning will stay on your record at least a year since 3 written warnings within a 12 month period may result in penalties.

Comment Update:
In our experience, in most cases this does not affect your insurance because it does get sent to your record. There are exceptions where it can appear on you record, in those cases the infraction would affect your rates.
