Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by youzguyz on 06/02/10 at 12:25:57 Been there, done that. Best solution in those instances is to call the Traffic People for your area and complain. A traffic light system that will NOT sense a motorcyle (a VEHICLE) is defective and needs repaired. |

Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by Bigzuk on 06/02/10 at 12:29:21 That's a very funny one :) :) Around here they would have just ran the red light.......or maybe rode the dirtbike up on the sidewalk to push the button :o :o I tend to do the first one if nobody is looking.... Bigzuk |

Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by prechermike on 06/02/10 at 12:42:17 BigZuk In NC, you can legally go through a red light, if nothing is coming, you have waithed three minutes, it uses an inductive loop, etc. http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/enactedlegislation/sessionlaws/html/2007-2008/sl2007-260.html FWIW But who wants to wait for three minutes (or time it for that matter)? |

Well, I guess I can add that one to a large and growing list of things I didn't know ;D ;D Thanks, I'll print that one for the officer that won't know it too ;) I bet 3 min. is a long time setting at a light with nothing going on, here I have been breaking another law that 2 more min. would have made legale :) Bigzuk |

VEHICLE CODE SECTION 21450-21468 21450. Whenever traffic is controlled by official traffic control signals showing different colored lights... successively, one at a time... blah... those lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles, operators of bicycles, and pedestrians as provided in this chapter. A traffic light system that will NOT sense a motorcyle (a VEHICLE) is defective and needs repaired -- and IF not working successively lights is not covered by the cvc 21450-21468. The broken light works as same as being a Stop Sign. |

Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by Horatio Hawkshaw on 06/02/10 at 15:44:49 I carry a copy of the Georgia Code section that states "after a reasonable" amount of time, a motorcyclist can proceed through an intersection when safe to do so. I've only had to pull it out once. LEO wasn't thrilled, but he let me go. |

Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by babyhog on 06/03/10 at 06:42:47 Very nice information. I'll have to check our law on that. Thanks! I live about 1/2 mile from a one-lane tunnel, with lights on each end. Not heavily travelled road either. Have had to wait for a car to come up behind me (no push-button) to get the light to change. I think they fixed it a while back though, with motion sensor cameras. It works better now. I've moved around a bit and got the light to change. I certainly wouldn't run it though!! No where to go in the tunnel if something is coming from the other direction!! |

Title: Re: No light trigger?... Post by kimchris1 on 06/03/10 at 14:06:55 I never had that problem on my S-40. My Rebel was a different story. I had to at a couple lights go on red or in a case where I was going to turn, use the other land and go straight. As far as Leo's asking for insurance card. When my accident occured the officer asked me not only for my insurance but also for my licence and if I had an endorsement. I have heard they will confiscate your bike if you don't have an endorsement. |
