I forgot to ask, but I'd think not. (BUT,WHO KNOWS)

Actually, my "Silver tongue" got me out of that ticket. (No jokes please!)
I pleaded my case to him, in the pouring rain. I was soaked through and through due to getting caught in the rain from Apopka to Orlando, coming home from Ormond Beach. No fenders, no gear, no helmet, just barebones fun!
I told him about the paperwork I had about 316.2085, and showed him where the holes in the tag were, from having it horizontal until I heard otherwise. So after a five minute briefing about 316.605, all the time I'm standing in the rain while he's under his little umbrella, (with a little smirk on his face ),and a promise from me that the tag WOULD be horizontal before I went to bed (second time I've made that promise in the last 15 months), he let me off with a warning, and a ticket for a burned out tail light.
From now on though, I'LL JUST LIVE WITH A HORIZONTAL TAG!


And you may see me tonight With an illegal smile J. Prine
