South Carolina has joined six other states that let motorcyclists,
mo-ped drivers and bicyclists run red lights that don't change within
a couple minutes of their stopping.
Gov. Mark Sanford signed the bill into law Tuesday.
It requires motorcyclists, mo-peds and bicycles to stop for two
minutes before entering an intersection if a traffic signal has not
turned green. Motorcyclists pushed the legislation because they said
automatic signal controls using sensor embedded in roads don't always
detect their bikes.
The American Motorcyclist Association says Arkansas, Idaho,
Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin have similar laws.

I see that law abused all the time in NC where the law states a three minute
wait but then only if it is safe. Most bikers pull up, look both directions
and then pull out. Elapsed time ten or fifteen seconds.

So are you saying that North Carolina is an abusive state, or just
more progressively abusive than South Carolina?
