So, after half a year of trying to shorten my commute by going ~85 in a 65, I finally got pulled over (first time ever) yesterday. It was incredibly painless - officer took my license and registration, said he got me going 85, went back to his car, came back 3 min. later and said he's letting me off this time.
This got me thinking...
1. Do cops keep a record of this stuff even if you don't get a ticket? In other words, do you get "one freebie" (assuming you aren't doing something totally ridiculous) and after that it's a ticket?
2. Does this record (esp. if you do get a ticket) have any effect on your car insurance rates?
Edit: I'm in Massachusetts
