Very good logic!

Once I had to resort to puling forward over the stop line and beckoning the 4x4 behind me to roll forward. They probably thought I was either mad or a wizard because as soon as they did roll forward the lights changed instantly!

Wonder if hayabusa's and zzr1400's have to worry about this?

They're no heavier than an old school bike.....although they ride at warp speed...... So nope, no worry

Laffic trights?


Is your real name Spew Leight?

Yes, owning a tuned one I'm aware how fast they go. Their mass however being approximately 250kg combined with a high contact pressure probably differs substantially from that of an sv for instance

What I was getting at is, if a red light was on for too long and one happened to go through on a Zzr1400....
Nobody would notice...not that I'd know anything of the sort

Try parking with as much of the bike over the loop. ie off to the left or right so your on the vertical part as well as crossing the two horizontal parts.

I can set traffic lights off like this on my pushbike thats hardly made of any metal at all

I seem to remember reading somewhere many years ago that it was a defense to going through a red light if you had an honestly held belief that the lights were defective, and I would suggest if the sensors are not detecting you then that is pretty defective....

The onus is on you to evidence it so I wouldn't suggest you avail yourself of this on a whim... and it may be of course that I'm an old fart and things have changed, but it certainly seems a fair approach.
