Running Red Lights - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

I was forwarded this and thought it would be good to post. The NC General Assembly has made it legal for a motorcycle to run a red light if the inductive loop isn't picking up the bike. The catch is you have to wait 3 minutes. While sitting at a light, that will seem like 3 hours. But if the cop wasn't sitting there watching you the whole time, (Shrug).

That's good to know. Thanks for posting that. [thumbsup]

(I wonder why they wrote it so that it doesn't go into effect until December? ??? )

The light at my subdivision takes 5 minutes in the morning in the best of circumstances, but for anyone who rides in RTP during the weekend this is great.

Sweet. This is almost as good as legal lane splitting.

Yes sir, officer sir. I was sitting there for three minutes. :angel:

I know because my bike idles at 1100 RPM and I counted to 3300.

I picked up this thing called the Signal Sorcerer at Iron Horseman Technologies. It's a strong magnet you mount to the bottom of your bike.It trips the signal light. It seems to work for me.
