<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black"><FONT size=3>Here in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State></st1:place>, we tried to get a bill passed five or six years ago, regarding "if the light does not change in three circuits" etc. but the bill did not go through as it was written. What did come out of it was a regulation that instructed the local towns and cities when they are installing new lights, to make sure that the sensors would be sensitive enough to recognize the weight of motorcycles and bicycles. Because there is nothing else "in the law" , I am sure that the police would not want you to sit there and grow old waiting for a green, so I <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>called the San Diego Police Dept,
Highway Division, and posed the question to the officer. He advised that if I came to a light that did not change, I should sit there through one complete cycle of the lights, and then check to see if there was no other vehicle or pedestrian close enough to be a hazard, and if there was, I must yield to them, and then I could cautiously and safely go through the red. He also said that If I came to the same intersection tomorrow, in that I know that this light is bitchy, I must still wait for one full cycle before I make a decision. Even thought the cop did not mention this , if I was wearing a vest that read "Killer Motorcycle Gang" or “Cops Suck”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>then I would check the area for cars, pedestrians, <I>and police cars</I> before I went thru the red. <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns =
