I used to ride from New Orleans to Dallas on a regular basis and always at night I worked 2ed shift there was the one little town where I had to make a left turn to get back on the highway and a cop that always sat across from the light hiding behind a billboard. I usually had to wait at least 20 mins for the left turn signal. I know that cop had the switch or something and was over there laughing at me saying "come on run it" I once waited so long I got off the bike and had a smoke.

 

this makes me wish i got caught in person by an officer. the cameras caught me so i have to write a letter to the judge explaining why I ran the red. crosses fingers

 

I've done it a couple times. I normally make sure there aren't cars ANYWHERE, just because I'd rather wait, then explain to a cop. But there's a couple random lights in the country that get old fast.

 

lol i always stomp on the sensor it seems to help me out at red lights its like a diamond look in the pavement people look at me like wtf lol just stomping on one or 2 feet xD

 

i'm pretty sure they are triggered by magnetics and the metal in the cars, not by weight or pressure.

 

-_- eh i knew that xD

 

i take it no one has tried the old trick of flashing ur lights on and off?

 

I have but it depends on the sensor. We have three basic kinds around here; magnetic, weight, and light. And I have run them before but only after waiting about 5-10 min watching the lights changing around. Then usually after I turn the lights change for the person behind me.

 

I head to work really early am as well and usually i only have issues with 1 light, sometimes the highbeam on the bike will switch it but think its to low, i can flash it with my lifted truck and it changes right away lol.

Course the ride to work is through the middle of no where anyway so running em isnt a issue

 

I have many lights like that where I live. There have been multiple times where I would sit there and wait. Sometimes I have vehicles pull up next to me so the light will trip for me. Other times I will just go after a few times of the light changing. Luckily haven't been caught by any of the cameras yet. Waiting for that day to come.
