i pull out my phone at red lights too (when expecting call/text). i dont use it for talking but i can usually slip out a quick text at a red light, like to let someone know im almost to their house (example). its slightly difficult with gloves on a touchscreen but its do-able.

 

there are a few lights around here that are agonizingly long. so if i felt the phone vibrate in my pocket sometimes ill see who it was and if it was important enough for me to pull over and return the call. most times it isnt....lol

 

I will echo the OP in that I ride to get away from stuff. The phone rides in the back pack and might as well be made of unobtainium. Not saying that giving it a glance at a red light is a bad thing ... but you better be ready to hit the throttle when it goes green or expect some idiot like me to crawl yer case

 

most of the time, the cell phone is the last thing i pack/put into my pockets when i go for a ride. imo, the only reason to even have a cell phone while you're riding is just in case you go down or a buddy goes down and you have to call for help.

Most of my riding is for pleasure and the phone is the last thing on my mind. When I go on a long trip over 2 hours I take my blue tooth in case my family needs to reach me. I've heard of to many innocent people getting hurt because of the other people texting or on the phone. Johnnyh

 

lmao

 

Ehhh not gonna lie i've done this before. I know some of the lights around here take FOREVER.
