Bill Would Give Bikers Green Light to Run Red Lights

Raleigh — State lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow
motorcyclists to go through red lights without penalty.
Many traffic lights, especially those on little-traveled side streets,
are linked to sensors embedded in the pavement that turn the light
green when a vehicle rolls up. Because motorcycles rarely have enough
iron close enough to the ground to trigger the sensors, state Sen.
Austin Allran, R-Catawba, introduced a bill to give bikers the green
light to run a red one.
Senate Bill 1359 would allow a motorcycle driver, at an intersection
with such inductive loop sensors, to go through a red light after
waiting at least three minutes.

<grin> If you ever rode a motorcycle, you'd know what that's all about,
wouldn't you ? They've got a choice.. either adjust that equipment to
detect that motorcycle at the red light, or let them run the damned thing
instead of sitting there like a dummy.. being the only one in sight..

<sigh> I feel so abused.. Damn.. I thought the OP was referring
to a Bill in one of the Carolinas, or somewhere.. But, we had a Bill
in our Legislature Session this year to.. I don't remember how it
was disposed of, but it would seem to have brought some attent-
ion to the motorcyclist advocacy groups around the country.. Good
job.. even if that's all the good it done.. Regards
