How can running a red lite be any more dangerous that say a stop sign, better yet how about those pesky 4 way stop signs.....

Have never found the kickstand thing to work....

Also it appears that the sensors are in sequence, if the frist one doesn't trip the light then the second one won't either. I've sat at a lite when feeling azzholey and waited for the auto's/trucks to line-up behind me. Than just ran the lite and watched in my rear view mirror while they waited for the lite to trip :-)

After two(2) cycles I'm a gone pecan.

The red light law was passed in SC last year and we are pushing it again this year in GA. Frankly, I have been doing it illegally for 30 years.

Just roll on the troddle, and roll thru. If or when the LEO stops me, "Hey, I'm from South Dakota, What's this traffic light thingy you be talking 'bout??? We ain't gots those out home. I thought that was a Christmas light the public works dept forgot to take down. "
IT'S never worked, but whatdahey, worth a try.

I want to say this became "acceptable" in NC a year or so ago. Good thing to. I would never make it to work in the morning without it. I go in to work pretty early, and sometimes only see a handful of other cars. Many of the lights I have to pass through, will not change for a motorcycle.
