How do you deal, on a daily basis, with the dreaded scenario of being first in line at a stoplight..especially for those of us that live in areas where its regulated by a trip on the pavement?
Do you just run the light if it skips over you after a couple cycles? do a u turn? switch lanes and take the long way around? etc...
Had this scenario just the other day, I spent 15 minutes at a stop light, because the light wouldnt trip, and I couldnt run it because their was a cop sitting caddy corner watching me, and a no u turn sign as well. Finally after 15 minutes, he put his lights on and left, assumingly going on a call somewhere else..so once he was outta site, I just ran the light. This was at about 2:30 am.
It's not so bad if you're with a group of riders, or even just 2 of you, but unless you are at a light that runs on a sensor other than pavement trips, this can really be a pain in the a$$. :toetap:
