upflying Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Some of these would be very bad if you were riding a motorcycle. Do not ever enter an intersection with a green light without looking both ways. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1418565565?bctid=70368898001 Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 The semi avoidance maneuver almost worked...almost. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for that sobering reminder, Bob Long ago I used to stomp on the gas when the light turned green. Riding changed my thinking. I'm lucky, so far. Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My old Latin American driving habits still hold. With a red light look behind you. With a green light look left and right. When taking a exit at a highway look to make sure nobody is passing you on the shoulder. Link to comment
David13 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I never look left and right on the green light. Not at my usual speed. I would have no time for avoidance anyway. It would only be a flash from one side or the other. Then I suppose some county personnel would have to pick me up and take me down to north Mission Road. Well, I been down there before. dc Link to comment
johnlt Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I always look left and right on a green light, especially if it just turned green. Also I look back on a red light and generally pull to the side of the lane to stop, in case someone is comming up too fast from behind. I look for folks passing on the shoulder only if riding in Texas Link to comment
tallman Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 We almost always have the distinction of being # 1 or #2 in the state in either red light running or speeding, or both. Like Kathy I did do the stomp, but not any more... Link to comment
