发帖数: 2005 | 1 Hi,
Anyone know the difference?
I was pulled over last weekend in Oregon, and the policeman said he decided
to give me a warning when he handed me a piece of yellow paper.
When I look at it, it says "citation", and it also has a base fine of $x. I
couldn't find anywhere on it saying "warning".
And we are also required to either appear on court in person or write to the
court and appeal guilty or "no contest". So it looks like a ticket to me.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks. | o********l
发帖数: 12430 | 2 well that sure sounds like a ticket to me.
but i've not actually gotten a ticket so i don't know for sure although i
have had a few warnings and there were no paper, all verbal warnings.
good luck to you.

发帖数: 2005 | 4 Hi,
In Oregon, is there a way not to let the ticket go into your driving record?
In some states, you can take some classes, or in WA you can pay some fees
to the court if it is your first violation.
Anything like that in Oregon?
Thanks again.

发帖数: 274 | 6 A little bit more information would be helpful, like what the driver did,
what was written on the citation, or what exactly the police offer said.
It's not uncommon that a driver had multiple offenses while the police
officer decided to only cite you on the most serious one. For the apparent
reason, he wouldn't want you to repeat those minor infringments, hence some
warning on the side.

发帖数: 2005 | 7 It was "speeding when passing where there is only one lane each direction"
on Hwy 26.
Speed limit is 55, he said my speed is 79. The reason is while I am passing,
the police's car appeared from in the other direction. I couldn't see it
because the road has some slope, but I was on the "allow to pass side.
So at that time, I think the best thing to do is to return to my lane as
fast as possible and to break hard would be dangerous too.
He turned around and followed me, I didn't notice them until

You can choose to appear in traffic court or just pay up. We don't have
traffic school or point system here, at least, not that I know of. | P*g
发帖数: 274 | 9 In English, "I would" is not necessarily what I WILL do, 虚拟语气, typically
followed by another sentence starting with "However, ....(for the xxx
reason I won't do what I just said 'I would'"). ^_^
Besides, there is a subtle difference between "I would give you a warning
ONLY" and "I would give you a warning in addition to the speeding ticket".
Another possibility is that the police wanted to give you a warning at first
, but then ran your record and realized you have several speeding ticket

Their odometers are calibrated every 6 months. It's hard to argue on this.

发帖数: 274 | 11 If it's two car heading towards each other, how do you estimate the speed of
the car in opposite direction? :)
Even if the police officer can operate the laser gun while driving and get a
reading of his own speedometer at the same time, he would still have
problem presenting the evidence in court, so there will be a lot of room for
argument.

Damn it. My only ticket that will go on record. Had one previously but
waived by court.
