Somewhere in this thread there appeared a post, later "quoted" that you got cited three months later for speeding by the same LEO. If this "three months later" is the speeding citation we're discussing here, then the syntactical construction you need to use is "three months prior." You're making a relative reference to an antecedent noun clause, and you need to demonstrate some parallelism in consequent citation.

Yeah, as a matter of fact I do teach grammar.

In light of the direction this thread has taken, I found this quite comical!  Good response, FLHX 2010.

There is no prosecution in Traffic Court. You're cited by police for a traffic violation, and you can plead. In some jurisdictions you "appear" at the clerk's window (not in court before a judge) and either pay the fine or request a trial. You don't want to request a trial.

 Oh my hell...now we have someone with their red pencil correcting a post.
2010 FLHX why did you wake up with your panties in a knot? We have had great riding weather here in Oregon (Orygun as you say). The ducks are going to the Rose Bowl, the sun is out what more could we want for December. I see you do your best to make a "FIRST" impression.  So where do you teach at?

[Twolanerider]

I'm starting the pool.  Everyone place your bets and make your choices as to outcome today:

Terry will get:



1) $1 million fine
2) $1,000 fine
3) Will be sentenced to community service in an upcoming Newt Gingrich White House
4) Will be sentenced with being "grounded" from using any Glare products for six months
5) Will be barred from eating any pork products for life

I believe Terry would take #1 over #3 any day  If my memory serves me correctly.
Come to think of it #4 might be the worst yet

That's just so much more funny coming from a woman.

You may teach Grammar, but you obviously can't read. It was a different member of this forum that was tagged for speeding twice by the same LEO.

6 pages of posts over a speeding ticket. But, I catch myself clicking the thread to see wha the latest scuttlebut is all about. 

I may start a thread..The first post something like this.: "There I was, driving 67 in a 5 listening to Led Zepplin, when all of a sudden..." and see how far it'll go.

Kinda like a train wreck.

Of course at this point, like many threads here.....it's no longer about Terry's ticket but more about the entertainment.

Well, it's over now, so the thread can continue a life of it's own, or not.    Got to the "Hoover Center for Public Safety", and of course they didn't have my paperwork in their file to immediately go into the courtroom setting, so I got to stand in line for 45 minutes.  Finally got to the window where there was a pretty cute gal waiting on folks...she told me I looked like Santa...   So I asked if she'd like to sit on my lap...that pretty much broke the ice.    We got along great after that exchange, so I get to take a Defensive Driving Class next month, and it won't go on my record, plus it's cheaper than the ticket.  All's well that end's well.  And the Santa thing really did work...

That's all?  We got a lot more fun value out of your ordeal than that.  What a bargain!   

Glad you didn't get nailed atrociously TC.  Now the real question though.....   Does sneaking by without getting your drawers tanned mean you'll do it again ?

[Twolanerider]

..... soon?       

[BUCKNUT GREG]

Congrats Terry.  Glad it worked out well for you Santa 

[RedDevil]

Way to go   errrrr, Terry.    Maybe they'll show you in the defensive driving course how to mount a radar jammer in your car.    Seriously, glad to see it worked out for you.

Terry glad it worked out well for you... once you complete the course you may want to turn a copy of the certificate of (or proof of taking) the course to your insurance company . Hell.... you might get an insurance reduction for taking it.

 
Ride Safe,
