When I was driving to work, I was stopped for doing 45 mph in a 25 mph. The State Patrol gave me a written warning, with no fine. With what happened, will my insurance company be contacted?

Typically a ticket for exceeding the speed limit in Dayton, OH by more than 5 mph, when the limit is less than 55 mph, results in receiving two points on your Ohio driver’s license. Since you received a written warning with no fine, this violation might not be placed on your Ohio driving record. Although, some states do not carry a fine or require a court appearance for a written warning; it instead serves as a reminder for you about your speedy driving. On some other states, they will file this warning or place a notation regarding it on your driving record. To find out for certain what Ohio does regarding written warnings, check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or Traffic Violation Bureau.

Your insurance company will not be contacted by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, but if the speeding offense is recorded by the Ohio State Patrol and placed on your motor vehicle record, your car insurance company will see the violation when they next look up your MVR. They normally do this when you start a policy, make changes and/or at renewal time.
